Lynda - Exploring Composition in Photography_Sin

In photography, composition isn't everything…but it's close. Effective composition can
make a photo far more powerful by drawing the viewer's eye into the scene and guiding
it in a way that conveys your intent as a photographer.

In this course, photographer and educator Taz Tally details four pillars of effective,
impactful composition: simplicity, asymmetry, eye lines, and point of view. Through
example images and helpful graphics, the course discusses not only the things you can
do to enhance composition when you're shooting, but also improvements you can make using
imaging software such as Lightroom.

Throughout the course, Taz issues challenges to help you practice what you've learned.
The course concludes with a look at how to critique—and thereby improve— your work.

Topics include:
Composing for simplicity
Employing asymmetry or an interesting point of view
Including eye lines
Composing in camera
Cropping for improved compositions
Enhancing images in Lightroom
Critiquing your own work
