Intro to Photography: COMPOSITION Basics and Tips
What You'll Learn
Composition Basics and Tips is an interesting lecture, discussion, and slideshow on all the basics and some not so well known tips and techniques for improving your composition and thus your photos. Every successful photo has a great lighting, great subject, a great exposure, and a great composition. This class will help you see the light and use it and your subject to create the composition you really want.
You will learn the basics of portrait, travel/street, and nature photography. In addition, we will look at basic lighting considerations both natural and artificial. Cropping as a tool for a second layer of composition control in the editing process is also covered.
Send the instructor 2 images, if you would like to receive suggestions for improvement. Don't send your best images, those probably already have a great composition instead send ones that you like or you feel that are decent but that you are not in love with.
