"Fantastic book!" -- Clay Blackmore, Photographer, February 2007


Product Description

50 Principles of Composition in Photography reveals how to capture more creative, imaginative and inspired photographs using both film and digital photography. With Klaus Bohn's clear and practical guidelines you will discover how to heighten your visual acuity and take more artistic, appealing and captivating images.

These principles of composition have been gained from a lifetime of learning and thousands of dollars spent attending private courses given by the world's top professional photographers including: Joe Zeltzman, Monte Zucker, Donald Jack, Rocky Gunn, Yousuf Karsh, Arnold Newman and many more.

Learn the techniques to distinguish yourself from the photographers who simply take snapshots. Acquire the skills to give form and balance to your photographs by combining the elements harmoniously in order to see a subject in the strongest way. This book is sure to become a valued resource in your personal library, to be consulted and relied upon for many years to come.

Reviews:

"Just for a little while, let Klaus be your mentor. His struggling for creativity is revealing, is so evident. Reach out to grab it. Resolve to integrate this highly saleable touch of class into your daily output."
Jack Curtis, author, "Wedding Portraits and Photography World"

"I was so impressed with what Klaus had to say I had to restrain myself."
Paul Castle, author, "Promoting Portraits"

"Klaus has been quite successful... and both he and his Photography must be given better than average marks. What follows are epitomized abstractions of some of Klaus' comments on how he operates, and I feel they could be of practical value to you."
D.H. Moore, author, "The Practice of Modern Photography"

1.0 out of 5 stars Definitely overpriced..., August 28, 2007
By Teri Soares "terids" (Fairfield, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This book looks like a do-it-yourself publication. Certainly not worth this price. Anything by Freeman Patterson would be a better choice, both for content and value for the money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly written and over priced, March 11, 2007
By ShutterFlash (Portsmouth, NH USA) - See all my reviews
I expected a useful treatise by a respected photographer. Instead, I received a book that is so poorly written it appears it had no editor, with illustrative photographs so poorly reproduced it is hard to appreciate what they are demonstrating. Save your money and look elsewhere for help.
