Fundamentals of Photo Composition

Getting to Know Your digital camera

Getting to Know Your digital camera

Too often we expect a beautiful or favorite subject to automatically produce a great photograph. But strong images require selecting and arranging those subjects in the photograph—what we call composition. In this course, you learn to improve your pictures by deciding what your photo is about and using composition techniques to convey that idea. Find out when to shoot a horizontal or vertical frame, where to place the main subject for the most impact, how to employ lines to direct your viewer’s attention, what effect the background has on your photo, and why exploring different angles helps create unique images. By applying composition you can turn a snapshot into a photograph. All cameras are welcome in this class, including phones.
