THE COMPOSITION HUNT
What is Composition?
Composition is everything when it comes to a photograph. Oftentimes, the technical side of an image is pretty easy to learn, so the one thing that separates a great image from one that is less interesting is the composition. Everyone has a camera these days, understanding how to make framing and composition decisions well will help separate you from the rest. ASSIGNMENT: Submit a strong photograph that exemplify as many of these Compositional Methods learned in class.
