WALTHAM, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–In celebration of fathers around the globe – 60 countries throughout the world celebrate fathers on the third Sunday in June – Michael Freeman’s new iPad “app”, has been drastically discounted.

“loads of truly valuable content you’d never find in a print book”
In this new “app” Michael Freeman’s voice recordings talk photographers through the thinking behind certain shots. There are interactive presentations, including one where photographers can alter the composition of the image by adjusting the horizon. There’s also a video introduction and complete horizontal and vertical layouts all the way through (many apps like this only have one or the other).
Released in April 2011, The Photographer’s Eye: The App has become a global bestseller. Joe Wickert, O’Reilly Media publisher and book publishing innovator, said the app was “worth every penny,” had “loads of truly valuable content you’d never find in a print book” and “in just the first 15 minutes I spent with this app I learned at least 4 or 5 new techniques.” The photography website ThePhotoletariat.com wrote “I can now say with full authority that the future is here… The book is a fully interactive, ground-breaking example of what we are sure to see become the norm.”
Now in this new digital format, The Photographer’s Eye, published by Focal Press in North America and Ilex Press elsewhere, continues to speak to photographers everywhere. Both the book and the “app” show how anyone can develop the ability to see and shoot great digital photographs. The book explores all the traditional approaches to composition and design, but also addresses the new digital technique of shooting since pictures are often edited, manipulated, or montaged. The Photographer’s Eye is published in sixteen languages and has 100,000 copies in print in the US alone and 300,000+ worldwide.
