The second book in Freeman Patterson's classic photography series familiarizes readers with the
traditional principles of composition and visual design. But more importantly, Patterson provides
techniques and exercises for breaking with traditional concepts of design, thus enabling
photographers and people working in other visual media to develop a keen awareness of subject
matter and a personal direction.
