I'm looking for a book on photo composition to improve my skills/photo's.

For example:

- if I shoot a portret of someone looking to the left, should the person be centered, positioned to the right of left of the picture.
- when shooting a group photo, should I vertically center the eyes or the ' bodies' ?


Stuff like that

Thanks

I'd recommend "Designing a photograph (revised edition)" by Bill Smith. Not too technical and contains good example pictures to illustrate the concepts
