Composition is everything in photography. How you frame your subject, how you lead the viewer into and through your image, and how your images maintain the observer's focus all come down to composition. Good composition depends on how you place elements within your image and what you chose to show your viewer. Learning composition can be tricky in the beginning but fortunately there are some "rules" that have been widely accepted in the world of art. In this video I talk about 3 of these rules. I have a conversation with you as together we cover the rule of thirds, balance and negative space. I also talk about the 1 rule of composition that rules them all, the golden rule. The PHOTO CLASS series is an ongoing playlist where I cover topics of photography for all levels. Each video is rated for their skill level based on the amount of practice required to understand the lesson. This class is rated as BASIC.
