Composition as Visual Storytelling: A Guide for Photographers

Composition is the foundation of everything. Discussions about composition usually start with the golden ratio and continue with academic terms in the category of "everyone has heard of it, but it's unclear how to use it." The author of the book, photographer with many years of experience, Dina Belenko, whose photos are filled with imagination and an unusual perspective on familiar things, talks about specific working techniques without weighing it down with academic terminology – in simple language. The book is based on a vast number of questions Dina received from students, ranging from "I have a complete mess in the frame, help" to "the frame is empty, I want to add something but don't know what." In this illustrated edition, Dina breaks down each topic, showing examples of her work, sharing life hacks, and explaining everything in simple language. If you don't understand how to balance many small items in the frame, are tired of rearranging props from one place to another, or think that something is missing in the frame but don't know what, then this book is for you!
