The first book explores the creative potential of capturing beauty with your camera. With 10 chapters and 10 images to reinforce each tip, there are over 100 photographs in the book showing beauty in color, shape, faces, reflections, moments, highlights and shadows, details and the frame. The tips are designed to awaken your photographic eye, and is an especially good read for photographers just getting started.

The second book explores creative composition, and is organized around 5 Golden Grids that painters and artists have used for centuries. The book breaks down these Golden Grids and uses the seasons of the year – and nature itself – to show readers how to unlock the golden geometry that is all around us. In addition to explaining the grids, the book provides tips to help make your photos more compelling.
