Learning to See Creatively, Third Edition: Design, Color, and Composition in Photography

Completely revised and up to date right through, Bryan Peterson’s classic guide to creativity helps photographers visualize their work, and the world, in a whole new light by developing their photographic vision.

Fully revised with all new photography, this best-selling guide takes a radical approach to creativity by explaining that it isn’t an inherent ability but a skill that may be learned and applied. The use of inventive photos from his own stunning portfolio, creator and veteran photographer Bryan Peterson deconstructs creativity for photographers. He details the basic techniques that go into not only taking a particular photo, but also provides insights on how to reinforce upon it–helping readers steer clear of the visual pitfalls and technical dead ends that may end up in dull, uninventive photographs.

This revised edition features a complete section on color as a design element and all new photographs to illustrate Peterson’s points. Learning to See Creatively is the definitive reference for any photographer in search of a fresh perspective on their work.
