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.
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 the ability to see and shoot great digital
photographs. 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.

Features:

*Covers both traditional in-camera composition and the new opportunities for picture-making
made possible by digital imaging editing
*Shows how to explore situations and locations in order to find the best possible photographic
possibilities
*Uses clear examples from real photographic assignments, with schematic illustrations of how
and why the pictures work
