review 1: If you are looking for something to take you and train you to have a better "eye" for photography, or if you are looking to improve yourself in your photography, grab this book! It is worth every penny! Valenzuela takes you through his training, teaching you to constantly be "seeing" with your brain images that would be good pictures or not. Rather than never knowing "why" this picture is your favorite, you will "know" why you love that picture!Each chapter has homework with it- which is great because it makes you get out and practice what you were just taught. (for me this always helps to solidify what I have been learning)
review 2: This might have been one of the best books I've read this year! The focus on *practice* and providing exercises to develop ... morethe eye was really inspiring. I wanted to share the authors ideas with everyone -- I even lead a photowalk of 20 people on which we chose a couple exercises and just walked around finding photos for each.The posing section gave concrete advice and considerations that I need. This is my next focus in my photographic development as I enjoy portraiture.I wish I could have read the book faster to just absorb it all sooner. I'll definitely be referring back to this book to keep refining and enhancing my creative skills. less
