8 IMPORTANT Composition Tips for Better Photos (Re-upload) So, you’re looking to improve your photography and you’re (rightfully) told that composition is the key to a great photo. You proceed to read up on compositional rules and you realise there’s a lot to learn. The rule of thirds, the golden spiral, the phi grid, the Fibonacci sequence, leading lines, arabesques and dynamic symmetry. It all looks very complex and confusing. You examine bodies of work taken by a variety of well-respected photographers, but rarely find any examples that fit with these rules you’ve read about. In fact, most of these images almost read like a list of case studies showing what not to do. You’re confused and overwhelmed and really don’t know where to start. The problem is that composition is a massive subject and learning all the grid systems and ratios is only one tool in your visual toolbox. So let me give you 8 simple tips to get you started on improving your composition. _Amendment:_ The image at 7:42 is by *Edward Burtynsky* 0:00 - Crazy intro 2:00 - Get YOUR Position Right 3:28 - Use Your Phone 5:00 - Beware the Rule of Thirds 6:42 - Blur Your Eyes 7:11 - Think Conceptually 9:00 - Keep it Simple 9:38 - Keep the Edges Clean 10:00 - Work in Post 11:01 - Practise -------------------------------- Links 💾💾💾💾💾💾 MY INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/jamiewindsor/ PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/jamiewindsor Retro Video Assets Packs: 💾💾💾💾💾💾 https://jamiewindsor.com/retroassets https://jamiewindsor.com/vhsassets Retro Assets Pack 1 & 2 deal (25% off): https://jamiewindsor.sellfy.store/p/retroassetsbundle/ Photocopy Assets Pack: 💾💾💾💾💾💾 https://jamiewindsor.sellfy.store/p/jw-photocopy-assets/ Lightroom Preset Packs: 💾💾💾💾💾💾 Full shop: https://sellfy.com/jamiewindsor/ #1 My presets: https://jamiewindsor.com/presets1 #2 Medium Format Film Stock: https://jamiewindsor.com/presets2 #3 Kodak Film Stock: https://jamiewindsor.com/presets3 #3.1 Kodachrome Film Stock: https://jamiewindsor.com/presets3-1 #3.2 Kodak Portra Stock: https://jamiewindsor.com/portra #4 Cinestill Film Stock: https://jamiewindsor.com/presets4 #5 Fujifilm Stock: https://jamiewindsor.com/presets5 #6 Film Pro: https://jamiewindsor.com/presets6 Preset bundle deal (20% off): https://jamiewindsor.sellfy.store/p/lnus/ — http://jamiewindsor.com
