Compositions make or break photos, and they can be a really tricky thing to master. If you have been struggling with your compositions lately and need something that can get you back on the right track, check out this quick and helpful video tutorial on how to improve your compositions.
Coming to you from Mike Smith, this great video tutorial will show you how simplifying your compositions can quickly and vastly improve your photo compositions. While the video is geared toward landscape photography, these principles apply just as much toward pretty much any other genre. It is easy to get overcomplicated when you are composing an image. We tend to think about composition in an additive manner, putting more and more elements into the frame to balance each other out and to fill out the space. And while that works just fine most of the time, it can also lead to overly complicated photos that obfuscate the subject when things go wrong. Sometimes, the best way to make a compelling image is to wipe the slate clean and simplify your frame to only include what is absolutely essential. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Smith.
