Rules of Composition for Photography

In this workshop you’ll learn the essential rules of composition that will take your photography to the next level. We’ll explore key techniques like the rule of thirds, leading lines, framing, and balancing elements within the frame to create visually compelling images. We’ll use the gallery and surrounding area outside to practice different framing techniques. Throughout this workshop you will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on photo based exercises with guided collective feedback.

Perfect for beginners and those looking to refine their skills, this session will help you understand how to arrange your subjects in a way that enhances the story of your image.
