Composition Basics.

Composition is a challenging concept to teach in photography. I believe everyone has an inherent way of looking at the world and translating that vision into art, and teaching my own vision doesn’t always translate. Still there are some basic technical aspects to visual design that can be learned, and I’m putting together a series of videos that explain these concepts. You can see the first video, Composition Basics, below. In it I describe the concept of balance in a photo as well as that old cliche of design, the rule-of-thirds (hey, it sill works.)
