Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this composition class:

Ever wonder how two people can stand in the same spot, point their camera at the same subject but return with completely different ways of interpreting the identical scene? Building and making a photograph is like piecing together a puzzle. Creating an image in-camera is making a series of decisions and choices. The goal is to build a strong enough composition to guide the viewer’s eye to the most important elements of your image

This new course, devoted entirely to composition and photographic design, is intended to help you develop the way you see and pre-visualize your images so the tools and ingredients can help you achieve more compelling, meaningful images. We will focus on dissecting topics such as how to arrange images vertically and horizontally, color vs. black and white, color theory and how color adds emotion to an image, and how to arrange an image within the rule of thirds. 

We will discuss important composition topics such as unity, balance, movement, rhythm, focus, contrast, pattern, proportion, color and light. Further, we will study and compare the compositional elements of different styles of photography from documentary to still life.

How you see, approach and build an image is what will set you apart from the person standing next to you. A well-constructed photo does not happen by accident. This class will empower you toward making a great photograph, rather than taking one.

Skill/Experience Level: 
Students should have a working knowledge of their camera.
