A legacy photography text that teaches camera technique, composition, critique, visual expression, darkroom processes, and presentation through examples and exercises.
The Photographic Eye: Learning to See with a Camera teaches photography as a medium for visual expression. Michael F. O'Brien and Norman Sibley combine camera operation with composition, critique, line, shape, texture, pattern, perspective, light, motion, portraiture, places, people, darkroom processes, manipulation, and presentation. Exercises apply each concept in photographic practice.
