<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Instantly understand composition & design by deconstructing successful photos to see how they work.</b><br>Taking a new look at composition, Michael Freeman explores the visual mechanics of photography in its own native terms. Each section is organized into discrete units that articulate a working method for communicating particular ideas and capturing certain subjects. The result is an approachable, easy-to-understand course on successful composition and design.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>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. <p/>Since then, working for clients that include all the world's major magazines, most notably the <i>Smithsonian Magazine</i> (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 <i>Prix Louis Philippe Clerc </i>by the French Ministry of Culture. <p/>Freeman's books on photography have been translated into 27 languages.
