Photography Composition Lessons from WONDERLAND by Jason Eskenazi
One of my favorite photo books — part of our ongoing HAPTIC PHOTO BOOK CLUB (Summer):
Circular composition, getting close with 28mm lens
Kids heads in the foreground, separation of their hats, trumpet in the far right, and other kids walking in background (note their legs in a “V” shape):
Girl and hand in far left (bookend), and couple embracing in Background
Good example of deep depth in street photography, with two open-ended stories happening in the frame.
Layers, depth, action!
Note the triple sit-ups on the far right of the frame, as well as all the action going on in the frame.
Three subjects, different depth, different directions
Focus on the background. Girl in foreground curving to the right, girl in the far background turning left.
Couple kissing far left, subtle tilt, and horses and fountain in Background
Foreground, middle ground, background, near body of water
Extreme left cow, and girl in center of frame
Couple in far right, heads cut off, and another story in newly married couple on left Background.
Far left bookend, middle cluster of subjects, dramatic right frame
Note the three clusters of people in the frame (far left, middle, far right):
Slight tilt, lots of layers, and equal spacing with subjects
Extreme far left sickle, and equal spacing between subjects
Extreme left (two subjects), and circular movement of subjects in scene
Note also the curve from the far left, going to the right, then the middle of the frame.
Circle in bottom right, layers.
