There’s no new [Photographer Q&A] today, because I’ve been working all week on a new article for the [X-Equals Blog] about [Composition]. I’m really excited to share this article with you all, because I had such a fun time writing it! At first I was a bit unsure how to approach such a broad topic, but I aimed to narrow it down to a digestible amount of information. I looked at Composition from a Modern viewpoint – and how to work it into your portrait work.
Check out my article [Composition - A Modern Twist] and leave any questions or comments you may have over there. I hope you enjoy!!
I also wanted to mention one additional point I forgot to touch base on in the main article, and that is Practicing your Weaknesses. It’s a really great idea to study the composition in your own work, and take note of what your “default” composition is. My habit is to take far too many vertical shots, and not enough horizontal ones. The last few months I’ve been really trying to focus especially on getting more variety when it comes to horizontal images. For me, that is my weakness, and so I have been practicing it more and more lately.
It’s always a good idea to expand your composition repertoire, so next time you are out shooting, try to take a leap (or three!) by working on your weak spot.
I hope you enjoy the article!! Thank you so much for reading!
