About the event

Mastering the correct settings for exposure and focus is the easy part as it's really just muscle memory, but where photographers often struggle is knowing what makes a good composition when you're standing in front of a landscape scene.

This interactive online workshop will give you all the tools you need to make the best decisions when out shooting to ensure your images are compelling and have that WOW factor. 

In this session we'll cover:

  • The goal of great composition
  • How to make an image 'feel'
  • What to do before you even press the shutter
  • Ten composition techniques that will strengthen your image impact
    • Rule of thirds
    • Leading lines, diagonals + curves
    • Layering 
    • Framing + negative space
    • Symmetry + patterns
    • Perspective + Point of View
  • The power of colour in composition

This session will give you the confidence to approach new and favourite scenes with fresh eyes allowing you to create images with IMPACT!

The session will also be recorded and provided to all attendees afterwards.
