7 Simple Tips to Master your Composition in Photography

Almost all beginners list getting better at composition in photography as something that they struggle with. That makes a lot of sense and unfortunately, composition is one of the most difficult things to learn.

Put simply, composition is how the elements of a photo are arranged. A composition can me made up of many different elements, or only a few. It's how the artist puts those things within a frame that help a photograph become more or less interesting to the viewer.

Photography flattens three dimensions into two. In order to preserve a feeling of space and dimensionality, a photographer has to be aware of what’s in a shot and how they’re focusing on it. A good photograph will take many different parts and combine them into an aesthetically pleasing whole. Composition is how an artist tells a story within the confines of a single frame.

Good photographers have an eye for subjects and scenes. Composition is a tool they can use to help others see what they see. Follow my tips and start working on mastering composition in your photography!
