Geoff Roe on Photographic Composition

An intriguing 5-star short review in Amateur Photographer dated 3 January '09 led me to a brilliant, self-published book by Geoff Roe on Photographic Composition. The author is a retired academic, and this succinct little book chimes with my background in psychology, as well as making frequent links with painting and music. Informed by cognitive science, it goes far beyond the usual, hugely dissatisfying, platitudes about the Rule of Thirds and Lead-in Lines. Very informative and refreshing. ISBN 978-0-9529867-2-0, available from GE Roe, PO Box 220, Bramhall, Stockport SK7 2UZ, for £12 plus £2 p&p.
