8 Best Photography Composition Techniques to Take Better Photos
Have you been trying to master your camera's manual settings and learn about aperture, shutter speed and ISO?
The truth is that these camera settings, while important, are not the main things you should worry about when it comes to taking visually striking photos.
This is where composition techniques come in! If you learn how to master photography composition, then it'll instantly improve your photos whether you're shooting on a DSLR camera, mirrorless or an iPhone.
In today's video, we'll be cover 8 key photography composition techniques and tips including the rule of thirds composition. While this is a "rule", rules are often made to be broken!
To elevate your photography, we'll be covering the following compositional techniques:
1. Framing: This will create a frame around your subject in a scene and provide a greater level of context to help you tell a story through an image.
2. Leading lines: You can use the "lines" in your scene to draw attention to a specific point in your photography. It's also a great way to add a sense of depth to your photographs.
3. Symmetry: This is a very powerful technique in photography. We're drawn to symmetry and balance as human beings. Look for opportunities to create a sense of "symmetry" within your scene.
4. Negative space: While this won't work for every scene, the idea here is to leave a lot of negative space around your main subject. It should ultimately evoke certain emotions, whether it's a sense of tranquility or mystery.
6. Contrast: This is another powerful technique because when you begin contrasting certain elements, it'll create a stronger visual impact. The most common types would be tonal and color contrast, second to that would be conceptual contrast.
7. Patterns: The use of pattens and repetition can be extremely eye-catching when shot well. You can turn a mundane scene into something really powerful in photography.
8. Depth of field: Depth of field allows you to define the foreground and the background when you decide on focusing on a particular point in your scene.
9. Shadows: Don't be afraid of the shadows! When shot well, you can incorporate the other composition techniques to draw attention to a particular area in your photo.
