Cutting Edge Photographic Composition

Photographic composition techniques often list the same set of standard rules about filling the space of a frame to get your viewers’ eyes to move around and understand the story.  In this course, we move beyond these standard composition tropes to make more challenging and fresh work that stands out.

We explore:

• ways of creating mystery and mental interaction with your viewers
• utilizing space to evoke emotion
• working with analogue and digital means of collaging and glitching up your work

…and much more!

I'll show you some of my work with each technique, and we'll examine the work of world class art photographers who have executed these composition techniques in their own work.
