Composition 1 - Overview

It doesn't matter what sort of camera you use, but following a few simple guidelines can generally improve your photos. In this tip we will talk about "Composition".

There is an expression that says "A picture is worth a thousand words", and the Chinese have a similar proverb.

Composition refers to how you present that picture. Poor composition tends to deliver a confusing message, or one that is not clear.

If you want to ensure that you will get your message across, you must pay attention to its composition.

Composition is the part of photography that you can learn without a camera. We see it every day with the images and signs that surround us.

However, since most people have access to a camera or smartphone, it's a good place to start to explore the subject.

Composition
Correct composition is responsible for the placement of the subject (or point of interest) and proper placement of other elements in such a way they will guide and aid the viewer into perceiving the image properly.

Experts tell us there are numerous rules for composition that we should learn. Of course, art doesn't require rules, but it can be helpful to know them in order to know how to break them.
