Photographer: The Art of Seeing

Photography is the act of bringing simple ideas to life within the complexity of a scene.A line of light on a wall. A shape that falls into balance. Most scenes are crowded with distractions, but the real work is learning to isolate the one idea that matters and give it a precise, intentional form in the frame.This book is built around that skill. Strong photographs can come from ordinary places and everyday conditions. By training your eye to pick out clean ideas - light behavior, structural relationships, geometry - you can create evocative images anywhere you happen to be.About the Author:Peng Shao is an award-winning architectural and cityscape photographer.

He is a winner of the Global Photography Award and the Architecture MasterPrize, and his works have been on exhibit at the RTown Gallery in Grapevine, Texas. Read more
