Image design from A to Z

• Understand and skillfully use the basic elements of accent, line and surface
• Use image models and safely get strong photos
• Get to know and apply image styles in photography

This book is about everything that makes photography strong: atmosphere, visual power, clear statements. All of this depends on good image design. The aim of this comprehensive manual is to achieve optimally functioning images and to strengthen your personal photographic style.

Frank Dürrach is a photographer and experienced lecturer in student training. In this book he first shows the basic image elements and their potential for transformation. There are also practical image models and styles that make photographers' lives easier, as well as a wealth of other topics and tips.

All of this is described precisely but entertainingly and presented in an easy-to-understand manner using numerous photos from a wide range of photographers and explanatory graphics. All trends of the 20th century are covered, including current photography. The image material ranges from commissioned photography to the photo genres of fine art, fashion, street, architecture and reportage to smartphone photography.

From the content:

• Three basic image elements: accent, line, surface
• Eight design models: one and two accents, complexity, stenciling, etc.
• Eight image styles: Objectivity, Trash, Intimate Style, Abstraction etc.
• Many overarching topics: sharpness, color, camera position, foreground, lens effect, dynamics, cropping, etc.

For the second edition, the book has been expanded to include the chapter “7 Sins, 7 Tips,” which gets to the heart of the most toxic image errors, shows how to avoid them, and gives you the most effective rules for successful image design. An outlook on the future of photography in the emerging age of “artificial intelligence” rounds off the book.
