Coming to you from The School of Photography, this awesome video tutorial will show you how to take advantage of symmetry in your photography.

It is not just for abstract photos, however. Symmetry can be a very good way to simplify a composition to better amplify your subject without the frame becoming overly simplistic.

It is a great way to turn an ordinary location into something unique and compelling. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
