 Three GREAT reasons to buy this book! July 19, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was quite impressed with this book. I've been very actively taking digital photos for 4 years now and am reaching for the intermediate level of proficiency. The first reason I would recommend this book is that it went far beyond the "Rule of Thirds" and leading lines on into color, framing, lighting, placement, etc., etc. There's a wealth of good information and ideas supported by beautifully composed photo examples. Secondly,staying in keeping with the "Workshop" portion of the book's title, at the end of every chapter is an assignment the reader can embark on to REALLY learn what he/she has just read. The assignments are highly creative and fun. And finally, taking this learning experience yet one step further, the reader is directed to send the results of the assignments to a website where other readers are sharing as well. A great deal can be learned from looking at their submissions and reading reviews. I also discovered other links in this website that take you into a very exciting world of sharing and learning more about digital photography. This book is a keeper!

Covers them all in great detail. January 9, 2008
How a photo is composed can determine what it communicates, and while Photoshop and after-shot programs can help render images with greater precision, they are no substitute for decent composition. That's why any college-level class on photography and any library strong in photography references needs COMPOSITION PHOTO WORKSHOP: it shares all the elements which make up a masterful design, from color and lighting to design and symbolism. There are different techniques for portraits, landscapes and still lifes alike: COMPOSITION PHOTO WORKSHOP covers them all in great detail.

Unstoppable woman running at full gallop into focus and into the future.
A page-turner. Articulate, pleasant reading. Not too much jargon
A buffet of eye candy and brain candy and camera candy
Opened my eyes and enhanced my views in many ways
So many avenues and so many approaches expressed
Provides skills to make me and my camera more versatile and powerful
A ton of info in one book. A treasure chest of tips, tricks, and fundamentals.
Sort a personal guide, cicerone, to a world of photography that is becoming more complex and more simple at the same time
A nice addition to my art library.
 Composition? November 2, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am an advanced amateur who purchased this book hoping to improve my skills, or at least learn something new. This book was a total disappointment. The author simply fails to uncover in depth the principals of composition. If you are a total beginner and want to learn about photography and the history of photography in general, this book is for you. You will be reading pages and pages of completely useless and non composition related information only finding the mediocre picture and a very brief explanation on how the author took that shot. The pictures are short of being "fantastic" and leave you with serious doubt of whether you are really learning from the best.
As for me, I will continue looking for a truly educational book.
