Review: A Deeper Frame by David du Chemin

Photographer has released his latest book A Deeper Frame which explains how to create a story within your one frame photograph. He describes how as professional photographers, we must create more depth within our images through the use of depth, color, perspective, light and a few other methods. He changes our way of thinking about photography and helps us understand why we must move from the HOW of photography to the WHY. This is my review of A Deeper Frame.
