ART JOURNAL - COMPOSITION LITE - USING FOREGROUND ELEMENTS

I have been posting a series of blog posts sharing tips and studies of design, light,… you know, those fundamental subjects that you will always be learning and relearning. I decided everyone might benefit from a study (or refresher) in composition. It seems like everyone is taking photos in some form these days, so why not know the “rules”.

COMPOSITION LITE

Last month we reviewed Symmetry and in May we discussed the Rule of Thirds. (If you missed them, the posts are Featured below.) Did you have an opportunity to take the Rule of Thirds or Symmetry skills out on a test drive - or photo shoot as the case may be? Are you ready to try another composition? Well, how about exploring how to use foreground elements to add interest, depth, and/or lead the eye into your composition?

WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING

I intended to be much more active with Social Media in 2013, but, clearly, I’m off to a dismal start. I also decided to shore up my Color Theory and Composition skills, which has taken on a life of its own. The more I study, the more I want to learn and I’ve been neglecting everything else.
