Default If you are Compositionally Challenged Read Freeman's Book Photographers Eye
Many of you may have read this book already but I just read it again and felt I had to make sure I get my recommendation out.

Michael Freeman's book "Photographer's Eyes" is an amazing book for the art and compositionally challenged. I first read it about 3 years ago and have read it 3 times since. I have also read all of his other books. But this one really affected me. So I wrote a short blog about it here:

Michael Freeman's Photographer's Eye - a Review

And thought I should share this thought on this forum.

BTW I do some microstock and i got an improvement in my sales after I read this and started to implement what I had learned.

I would highly recommend any new photographers to check out his book.

I have it since Christmas, started the book but did not complete it... Maybe I am finding it a little boring? I may need to start over and push through it all in one shot.

I'm glad to hear that it wasn't just me. I read all the glowing reviews, but then found the text to be boring. I just assumed I was too ignorant to appreciate it. Perhaps I'll give it another go, some night when I am suffering from insomnia.
