One of the best ways to improve at almost any activity is to deliberately work at improvement. Rather than approach photographic composition as a collection of rules, principles, or design elements, the book uses exercises designed to enhance and make connections between perception and the final image. The book also addresses the fundamental skills of camera handling.

This book takes a primarily inductive approach in which knowledge and improvement come about by a process of discovery. If you learn best by doing things, you will probably like this book. I would add that this book is particularly suited for persons who are willing to try things irrespective of whether they initially see any value in doing them. If you believe that you can improve skills by passive learning and without having to put forth some serious effort, this book is probably not for you. There may be parts of the book that you think are unnecessary or involve subject matter you find uninteresting. I strongly encourage the reader to reserve judgment about the exercises and the genres they encompass, and simply do the exercises. As with many areas of learning, sometimes it is impossible to understand the value of having done something until long after its completion.

- Use simple exercises to learn to see and shoot like a pro rather than painfully following strict rules.
- This book covers a wide variety of genres (street documentary, photojournalism, nature, landscape, sports, and still-life photography).
- The Author has helped 1,000’s of photographers to date. In this revised edition, he includes over 250 beautiful color photographs to make his exercises come to life.
