Review: Insightful and inspirational for all levels of experience - Painstakingly researched and informatively structured, this book will be an eye-opener to photographers from novice to professional. I've been taking photographs (some award winning) and reading avidly about the subject for half a century but still learned a lot from reading this publication. The huge range of compositional aspects that the book covers is expertly illustrated by the author's choice of photographs, clearly demonstrating each point being made. An especially neat touch is the shrewd use of photo editing to change images in (sometimes subtle) ways that convey a very different mood and feel from the same basic image. Very insightful. And it's all wrapped up with a final section that gives a range of useful ideas about practical applications of everything discussed. The writing style is approachable and fluid, the structure well thought out and the publication quality appealing. The images are not only illustrative but often stunning in their own right and it would not look out of place on a coffee table. I suspect this may become a seminal publication among not just photographers but possibly artists of all genres in the art and science of image composition. Whether you've just started in photography or think you know it all, it's well worth a read.
Review: Masterful book on composition - When I first started to read this book I wondered where the author was coming from. Having read it I can see that his approach was the right one to take. He not only discussed some basic and indeed ancient concepts of composition but also why it works from a psychological point of view. When you get that last point you then get a lot more out of the book. The book is produced to a very high standard or printing and paper quality and should last a long time. The print is easy to read as is the content, which I found to be pretty fluid. In the end I have given the book 5-stars and would recommend it to anyone who is wanting to know why certain pictures work and others do not.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Advice for Landscape Photographers
*by Z***Z on 19 August 2019*

This book contains some real pearls of wisdom, invaluable both for aspiring photographers learning their craft and for seasoned professionals seeking a refresher. My only gripe with it is that there are hardly any examples of portrait photographs. Naturally, many of the principles mentioned in the book can be applied to portraiture, however, without suitable examples for reference, it can be harder to visualise just how the theory is applied in real-world scenarios. Perhaps it was modesty on the part of the author as he is defines himself as a wildlife photographer and therefore perhaps feel more qualified to provide guidance on that kind of photography. On the other hand, as a predominately wildlife and landscape photographer, the omission of significant portrait specific guidance may in fact be a genuine oversight, in which case, the book would be more appropriately titled: Mastering Wildlife & Landscape Photography. All things considered, I do recommend this book as it provides a valuable general insight into the founding principles of photography. If you are seeking a more detailed treatise on portraiture, however, you may wish to look elsewhere.
