Two Versions of A New Perspective are Available

Both editions assume that the reader has no prior experience with perspective. They are, however, written for beginners and advanced artists in mind.

Even if you are not an artist, the new scientific breakthroughs contained here can still be used by anyone with an interest in imagery and three-dimensional form.

Each book is personally signed by the author when ordered here, directly from the publisher (for a limited time).

The Photography & Filmmaking Edition

A New and Essential Understanding of Perspective Applicable to:
Directing, Camerawork, Visual Effects, Set Design and Setting Up Shots

Because perspective was developed primarily for drawing and painting, hundreds of years before anyone ever heard of something as routine today as a photograph, it should be no surprise that no one had fully developed this firmly established subject to include the many art forms which have arisen over the past century alone.

The Photography & Filmmaking Edition has three parts:

Part One: Basic Theory

Very little of the information within this section is covered in perspective materials. Yet, these are some of the most important fundamentals upon which perspective is based.

Part Two: Advanced Theory

This part contains a great many new discoveries from the causes and behaviors of three-dimensional form to specific distortion characteristics.

Part Three: Technical Theory

Here we learn basic theory as it relates to the application of perspective in a variety of different art forms. But regardless of your particular field, each chapter should contain something you can apply.

The Universal Edition

A New Understanding of Perspective for All Visual Art Forms Including:
Drawing, Painting, Photography, Motion Picture and Video Game Design

The Universal Edition is geared for artists requiring an even greater understanding of perspective that can be applied to any art form, including:

• drawing
• painting
• video game design
• website design
• computer graphics
• animation
• virtual reality
• set design
• display and exhibit design
• photography
• motion picture
  (directing, camerawork, visual effects)

It contains two additional parts, totaling five.

Part Four: Conventional Theory

For those who studied perspective before and found it hard, here you find out why. This takes a frank and honest look at the subject, correcting and updating dozens of flaws, omissions and basic misconceptions perpetuated for centuries.

Part Five: Drawing Theory

This is basically where all other books on perspective start. This section contains more drawing instruction than most other books, including some newly discovered techniques, but provides explanations as to exactly why each technique works—something often disregarded or misunderstood in other texts.

Which Edition Is Right for Me?

If you have any doubts about which version is most appropriate, it is advised that you get the Universal Edition which has the same material as the Photography & Filmmaking Edition, plus the two additional parts on "Conventional Theory" and "Drawing Theory."

This information is what every artist needs to grasp how three-dimensional form functions. Regardless of your art form, if understanding how your audience sees it and participates in it is important to you, then you really must understand how perspective works. This is something that nearly all professionals in the visual arts must deal with, from film directors to bridge builders, or anyone else that presents imagery to audiences, customers or clients.

This is information you never knew before. Nothing else will teach you this.
