Series: The Photographer's Eye

Design is the single most important factor in creating a successful

photograph. The ability to see the potential for a strong picture and

then organize the graphic elements into an effective, compelling

composition has always been one of the key skills in making

photographs.

Of course, digital photography has brought a new, exciting

aspect to

design

first because the instant feedback from a digital

camera allows

immediate appraisal and improvement; and second because

image-editing

tools make it possible to alter and enhance the design

after the shutter

has been pressed. This has had a profound effect on

the way digital

photographers take pictures.

THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S EYE

shows how anyone can

develop an eye for seeing great digital photos.

The book explores all

the traditional approaches to composition and

design, but crucially, it

also addresses the new digital technique of

shooting in the knowledge

that a picture will later be edited,

manipulated, or montaged to result

in a final image that may be very

different from the one seen in the viewfinder.

Michael Freeman, professional photographer and best-selling author, was born in England in 1945, took a Masters in Geography at Brasenose College, Oxford University, and then worked in advertising in London for six years. In 1971 he made the life-changing decision to travel up the Amazon with two secondhand cameras, and when Time-Life used many of the pictures he came back with, he embarked on a full-time photographic career. Since then, working for clients that include all the world's major magazines, most notably the Smithsonian Magazine (for which he has shot more than 40 stories over 30 years), Freeman's reputation as one of the world's leading reportage photographers has been consolidated. Of his many books, which have sold over 4 million copies worldwide, more than 60 titles are on the practice of photography. For this photographic educational work he was awarded the Prix Louis Philippe Clerc by the French Ministry of Culture. Freeman's books on photography have been translated into 27 languages.
