Storytelling is fundamental to creating good pictures.
But how you arrange and capture the elements in an image is the difference between a good picture and a great picture that you`ll want to look at again and again.
Our Composition in Photography course explores the art of great composition by examining classic photographs from a variety of photographers and genres. You will do this by also looking at the trends in composition throughout the years as well as innovative new takes. Learn to employ a wide range of techniques, both visual and technical while making images. You will examine planning and anticipation and how to implement this into your photography workflow. Get hands-on practical elements including studio and outdoor practice in genres ranging from urban and landscape photography and still life to everyday adventures.
