The Photographer’s Eye [Review]

by William | Book Reviews, Reviews

The Photographer’s Eye by Michael Freeman is a textbook, mostly, for the intangible aspects of art within photography. That is to say, concepts of shape and design, process and mental fortitude, as opposed to the coarse grain of technique. It’s a book...

Living Like You Mean It [Review]

by William | Book Reviews, Reviews
