PhotoTips – Composing Nature by Heinrich van den Berg, Philip & Ingrid van den Berg

PhotoTips: Composing Nature by Heinrich van den Berg, Philip van den Berg and Ingrid van den Berg is the second volume in the acclaimed PhotoTips series, created to help nature and wildlife photographers develop their skills through clear explanations and outstanding visual examples. Published by HPH Publishing, this volume concentrates specifically on one of the most important elements of successful photography: composition.

Rather than relying on complicated technical language, the authors use carefully selected wildlife and nature photographs to demonstrate how thoughtful composition can transform an ordinary photograph into a memorable image. Composing Nature explores the fundamentals and finer points of framing, positioning subjects within an image and recognising the visual elements that contribute to a balanced and engaging photograph.

Sections include practical advice on all aspects of photographic composition, guidance on incorporating elements of art into nature photography, photographic stories from the Van den Bergs and useful definitions of nature-photography terminology.

Set against the spectacular wildlife and landscapes of Africa, the lessons presented are equally applicable to nature photography anywhere in the world. Beautifully produced and extensively illustrated, PhotoTips: Composing Nature will appeal to amateur and experienced photographers, wildlife enthusiasts, safari travellers and collectors of quality African photographic books. It is both an attractive visual publication and a practical reference for anyone wanting to develop a stronger understanding of photographic composition.
