Beyond Thirds is all about moving beyond the rule-of-thirds, and getting to grips with the more advanced aspects of composition. I explore concepts like balance; some images work best when they are balanced, and other, more dynamic compositions, when they are unbalanced. And energy: images gain energy as the eye moves from one point to another, and you can use this by creating compositions with several focal points that pull the eye around the photo. Have you thought about aspect ratio, and how it affects composition? Or how learning to compose in black and white can improve the composition of your colour images too? You’ll find all that, and much more, in Beyond Thirds.

I’ve included some creative exercises in the eBook, and the whole book is designed so that you take each concept, one at a time, and go away and put them into practice on your next shoot. Click here to learn more or purchase Beyond Thirds.

The Evocative Image is my fourth eBook for Craft & Vision. A guide to creating photos with atmosphere and mood, it is full of beautiful colour images and creative exercises to inspire and stimulate. Many of the photos in the eBook were taken in New Zealand, my new home. Click here to learn more or to purchase The Evocative Image.

Andes features over 40 photos taken over several trips to the Andes – a region where you can find wonders such as the world’s highest city and deserts above the clouds; and the local people hold traditional fiestas and celebrations whose origins stretch back to the years before the Spanish conquest. Part monograph, part travelogue, it tells the story of my journeys to the Andes and my parallel journey through photography as I made my transition from film to digital, and took the first tentative steps towards a career as a writer.
