Publisher's Synopsis
Perfect for readers interested in graphic design, photography and visual communication, this book takes an in-depth look at real-world graphic compositions as they are seen through the lenses of some of the world's most talented photographers. Their well-trained eyes bring out the best in colours, textures, configurations and shapes that inspire designers, artists and other creative professionals. Although the camera is the tool that captures a given scene, the person behind it frames and composes that scene according to his or her point of view, giving it a sense of geometry and harmony, and contrast in its forms, light and shadow, and colours. The vast range of photographs contained in this book share communicative quality, clear vision and distinct aesthetic concepts as they portray objects and compositions that we may miss as we rush through our day. With these images, photographers invite us into their world and share what they see, hear and feel through their lens. The book contains exclusive interviews with these talented artists in which they share professional tips and the ideas they employ in their photographic practice.
