National Geographic: Mastering Composition: The Definitive Guide for Photographers

My purpose for the list as a whole was to make a list of texts that teach how to create motion with pictures. When you teach animation, you often receive questions about how to do that. So, we have created a list of reference material that can lead to practical knowledge. The selector supplied this list from her production experience, which spans more than 30 years. We hope that students will use these materials at the early stages of learning—looking, understanding, and applying—and will acquire practical knowledge about “moving,” a useful foundation for their creative activities.
“Amazing movement” becomes “beautiful movement” only after it is paired with effective composition. This book analyzes why each image seems beautiful, using cognitive psychology and art theory rather than guesswork and tricks.
