Composition is one of the trickiest parts of photography, and even seasoned veterans can sometimes struggle with it. If you find yourself struggling with it, check out this fantastic video tutorial that offers a wide range of helpful and meaningful advice sure to improve your images.
Coming to you from Mitchell Kanashkevich, this excellent video tutorial offers some great tips for improving your photo compositions, and though Kanashkevich is mostly focused on travel photography, the advice readily translate to a wide variety of genres, including portraiture, weddings, and street photography. I think one of the most important bits of advice in the video is the role of timing in composition. We have all heard of Henri Cartier-Bresson's "decisive moment," but when you are working on composition, it can be easy to get locked into balancing the spatial aspect of the frame at the expense of the timing of all the elements. This is part of the reason why street photographers love rangefinders; being able to see outside the frame through the viewfinder allows them to set up a composition but also keep an eye on the timing to make sure they get exactly the right moment when they press the shutter. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
