Workshops Description
The composition of photography is rooted in mastering essential principles that yield visually compelling images. Key to this process is understanding focal points, visual balance, and anticipating movement within the frame. Equally critical is the nuanced application of color, form, perspective, light, shadow, and depth of field to enhance the image’s narrative. Once these foundational rules are internalized, the focus expands to encompass the artistic, psychological, and philosophical dimensions of the photograph. However, perfection remains elusive, as photography thrives on an ongoing cycle of experimentation and refinement—an integral, ever-evolving pursuit of excellence.
