Photography and the Art of Seeing

The second book in Freeman Patterson's internationally acclaimed series of instructional books on photography and visual design, Photography and the Art of Seeing has now been completely updated and expanded to include technical guidelines adapted for both digital and film photographers. This edition features new, never-before-published photographs, extended captions that include valuable technical information and fresh personal commentary on more than 60 new pictures selected for this edition. The jargon-free text provides techniques and innovative exercises for breaking with traditional concepts of design, enabling the photographer to develop a keen awareness of subject matter and a direction for composing the picture. Photography and the Art of Seeing is also a workshop for all visual artists that includes lessons on the fundamentals of perception and overcoming obstacles in their work.
