Bryan Peterson - composition and colour with impact

New in my scrapbook today, Bryan Peterson (@bryanfpeterson), a photographer who puts composition first, and whose approach resonates strongly with what I try to do with my photography. #photography #art

Scrolling through Instagram, as I do these days after effectively ditching Facebook, I was stopped by this image.

Look at those lines! The contrast of the colours. The composition. It’s so simple, but so striking! This is the work of Bryan Peterson, a photographer you might be familiar with. I was, but I hadn’t even realised until I learnt that he’s written several really well-known…

  Review of Learning to See Creatively by Bryan Peterson

LEARNING TO SEE CREATIVELY (Third Edition)- Design, Color, and Composition in Photography, by Bryan Peterson, was first published in 1988. His newly revised edition was the first of Bryan Peterson’s books I’ve read. Being an amateur photographer, and an artist, I found his book to be a breath of fresh air compared to the many other photography books I’ve come across. Not being a pro in any way, his simplistic layout, and his step-by-step explanations that walk you through his book made it not only easy to comprehend, but gave you a personal look into the mind of what I can tell, from my own opinion as well as other reviewers, is a great photographer and teacher. Not everyone can afford a one on one photography class with such a teacher, but most anyone looking to learn photography can afford a great lesson in under 20 dollars.

I personally took an interest in this book for it’s title, although for me, it would read “Learning to see MORE creatively”. I’ve always had the eye, but not always the skill, and this book brings those two things together in a way I’ve yet to see before. Bryan Peterson answers all the questions a self-taught photographer like myself would have. He first breaks you into the book by focusing on, what else, but, “What Do We See?”. This first chapter is a perfect example of what the rest of the book looks like. You open up the chapter to see an array of images, the same image, just different perspectives. Each image is of a different view, depth, or lens. What Bryan does, is he shows you the different options a photographer might have in taking a photo, and then shows you ways you might make it better. He does this using his own point of view, explaining how he might go about taking such photo, and does this with a walk through of what camera, lens, shutter speed, exposure, and so on. It’s like being in the mind of a master.

Following the first chapter, Bryan takes you on a walk through different lens, each lens he provides you with a photographic example, and another step-by-step walk through. Next chapter, he introduces you to the more creative side of things, the “Elements of Design”. Here, he covers Line, Shape, Form, Texture, Pattern, and Color. This is where the artist in me exploded with excitement. For so long I’d always think photography was about subjects, particularly people or animals. My eye, on the other hand, was always drawn to the more abstract side of life. The book really opened my mind to see, just like with art, there is no limit with photography. There is just finding a way to build on the gift you’ve been given, in a way that all the world can enjoy it.

Chapter by chapter Bryan goes on to explain the basics in photography, such as composition, contrast, light, editing, and Photoshop. Each and every chapter of his he provides an exercise, a chance for you to pull out your camera, and put your own skill to work, as well as to help you learn what your own vision and color composition is. Bryan does a wonderful job reaching out to you, the student, and helping you build your skill, as well as providing those more experienced photographers a chance to open their eyes a little more to the world around them. It’s a great refresher book all around, and one I was very pleased to review.

Yesterday, former mentor, photographer Bryan Peterson, author of, among others, Learning to See Creatively and Understanding Exposure, wrote on his FB page that the best way to become more creative is to spend time with your camera. And the best way to spend time with your camera is to be up and about with your camera to give you more chances to take compelling imagery. His words.

He used to tell us (when I was taking his year-long class on stock photography) that we miss over 50% of our lives as photographers when we stay on bed and not be out before the sun rises, photographing.

This morning, I just did that, be up and about at sunrise … and caught the sun peeking out of the cloud cover over Lake Michigan, just before it fully shone. That occurred only less than a minute, but I got my shot, made sweeter by the presence of a human figure on the rocks.

After a few minutes, the sun ducked behind the cloud cover again. But not before I photographed the light streaks coming through the clouds and the birds flying against the light.

Wise words Mr. Peterson!
