“No Rules” Composition Techniques Improve Your Photography
The rules of composition weren’t made for creative people!
The Rule of Thirds is the most overused and abused composition in photography. Composition is the art of how things fit together in your photograph, and no two photos are alike – so stop applying rules.
The great American photographer Edward Weston taught, “Composition is the strongest way of seeing.” I couldn’t agree more. Following “rules of composition” leads to predictable results. Rules are creativity killers.
I will walk you through my concept of practical composition that is guided by the relationships of the objects in your photograph, the story you wish to tell, and the mood you want to convey.
What we will cover:
- How to think about Style and Content first.
- How to direct the viewer with your composition.
- The three most important things to consider in every photograph.
- My top 8 Practical Composition Tips.
- . . .and much more!
Who should attend this LIVE presentation?
