Product Description:
Almost everyone can "see" in the conventional sense, but developing photographic vision takes practice. Learning to See Creatively helps photographers visualize their work, and the world, in a whole new light.
Now totally rewritten, revised, and expanded, this best-selling guide takes a radical approach to creativity. It explains how it is not some gift only for the "chosen few" but actually a skill that can be learned and applied. Using inventive photos from his own stunning portfolio, author and veteran photographer Bryan Peterson deconstructs creativity for photographers. He details the basic techniques that went into not only taking a particular photo, but also provides insights on how to improve upon it—helping readers avoid the visual pitfalls and technical dead ends that can lead to dull, uninventive photographs.
This revised edition features the latest information on digital photography and digital imaging software, as well as an all-new section on color as a design element. Learning to See Creatively is the definitive reference for any photographers looking for a fresh perspective on their work.
* New edition of a best-selling title
* Updated to include digital
* All new artwork, and a totally revised and expanded text
* All-new section on color as a design element
* Written by one of Amphoto's bestselling authors

- Awesome
I've bought some books by Michael Freeman and now but now I bought this one and it is far better. Bryan Peterson is a very skillful photographer and also a talented teacher. He explains concepts so clearly and expands with possible shooting ideas. He really enlightens your senses, it's like the words given awake your senses. It's a great, great book. I'll buy the other two as soon as possible.

Excellent product for the price. Vendor was prompt and communicative. I purchased this book "used" and it is in "new" condition. I will definitely deal with them again.

Rating: - Love this book!!!
This book is a great tool for people who already have a basic to moderate understanding of how shutter speed, aperture, ISO, etc. work.It provides hundreds of examples of each creative technique along with side by side examples of basic compositions and then how to make the same composition better following the rules of design.I have already recommended this to a friend of mine and would do it again in a heartbeat!
