Photography Speaking Club #15: The art of composition

This time we talk about composition: how to see it, analyse it and build it before taking the shot. We will go over the classic rules — when to follow them and when to break them — and discuss how sketching helps you work with space and how a picture changes at the cropping stage.

Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera.

Bring printed photographs: we will look at them, talk and swap ideas.

Photography Speaking Club is where we talk about photography in English. It is moderated by Dmytro Shcherbyna, and any level of English is fine.
