Photography Composition Techniques

The video tutorial emphasizes the importance of composition in photography over camera settings. It covers various compositional techniques such as the rule of thirds, framing, leading lines, symmetry, negative space, contrast, patterns, depth of field, and shadows. The tutorial encourages experimenting with these techniques to enhance photographic storytelling and create visually appealing images.

• Because it is easier to learn than camera settings.

• Because it helps in creating stronger images.

• It changes the color of the image.

• It makes the image appear larger.

What is the role of shadows in photography?
