I believe that good composition is the keystone of good photography. There are many elements to composition, so here are 15 to get you started!

  1. Keep it simple
  2. Fill the frame
  3. Landscape or portrait framing
  4. The rule of thirds
  5. Framing your subject
  6. Colour and saturation
  7. Contrast
  8. Leading lines
  9. Symmetry/balanced
  10. Asymmetry/unbalanced
  11. Foreground interest
  12. Depth and layering
  13. Patterns
  14. Use of the horizon
  15. Unusual points of view

It's time for another podcast...

I will be running a 1-hour mini-workshop, an Introduction to Wildlife Photography, on the 26th March (recording available if you can't make the live event), and a short, 6-week course to help you with composition, "Seeing Differently", starting on the 13th April.
