Back to the Books

Creative Composition by Harold Davis
I've had this book for almost a month now and am blow away with all of the tips that are included. "Photographic technique can only get you so far. Technique by itself-without passion or vision-is shallow and meaningless. Cameras don't take pictures, people do."This is the first paragraph from the first chapter. This book discusses...
