Composition:
From Snapshots to Great Shots/ Laurie Excell. Berkeley: Peachpit Press,
c2011, Simon and Schuster, c1991 (251 p.)
For the
beginning digital photographer Excell covers the full spectrum of composition
from equipment selection to patterns to spatial relationships. Her work is complemented by chapters
contributed by four other photographers focusing on specific subjects like
black and white photography and sports.
For the more advanced photographer, the book serves as a refresher on
skills that are sometimes overlooked in the rush to get that “magic photo”. The chapters also include practical exercises
that can be used to further reinforce the materials included in the book. I would recommend this book to all but the
most experienced photographer. Bill Fryman
