Sharing A Journey - Composition Vol. 1

Composition Vol. 1 continues the Sharing A Journey series with a practical and encouraging look at what makes a photograph compelling.

Rather than beginning with camera settings and technical jargon, this volume starts with a more important question: What makes an image worth looking at?

Through a wide range of photographs, Bruce Alan invites readers to study the elements that draw the eye—color, shape, texture, motion, diagonals, patterns, vanishing points, and angle of view—and then put those ideas into practice through simple assignments of their own. The emphasis is not on expensive equipment, but on learning to see more clearly and use the camera you already have.

Designed for readers young and old alike, Sharing A Journey is an inspirational series about discovering your talents, developing them, and using them as a reason to explore the world around you.

Composition Vol. 1 is about taking the next step: learning not just to take pictures, but to understand why some photographs make you stop, look, and want to keep looking.
