Beyond Thirds by Andrew S. Gibson
Andrew S. Gibson is back at Craft and Vision this month with this his sixth eBook for them. Beyond Thirds : A Photographers Introduction to Creative Composition does what the title suggests and takes you beyond the most basic “rules” of photographer and opens the doorway to something more. If you’re relatively new to photography, this publication will help you progress beyond the basics of composition. It’s not just for novice photographers though. It’s all to easy for even the advanced photographer to find him or herself repeating the same shots from the same vantage points and composed in the same ways. After reading Beyond Thirds and putting some of the concepts into practice, you’ll feel a new lease of life in your photography as you create stronger and more varied images that have a greater impact on your viewers.

The Power of Three
There is no such thing as “correct” composition, just bad composition, good composition and inspired composition.
Covering concepts such as the rule of thirds, the golden section, balance, stability, multiple focal points, dynamism, shapes, aspect ratios, space and subtlety, Beyond Thirds has all you need to inspire you on your next photographic adventure. Discussion in the eBook includes some of the differences between color photography and black and white photography, as well as a conclusion describing order, balance and energy.
For me personally, I find a lot of value in Beyond Thirds in how it relates to my work as a photography teacher. Most of the students who come to me are either complete beginners or people who know the technical basics but struggle with the art of photography. When I incorporate the ideas and concepts outlined in this eBook, I am able to give much greater value to my students, and they in turn can see a much greater improvement in their work.
