Landscape Photography Composition Tips
Sharing a few #landscapephotography (also, general photography) composition tips that I learned since I started shooting landscapes.
Do you have some tips that you can share as well? Please do share and hit me up! :)
“Frame Within a Frame”
Deliberately place your subject in a position where accompanying elements surround it.
“Get Low”
Bring yourself and your camera low to the ground so you’re on the same level of smaller subjects to get a unique perspective.
“Slow the Time”
Get magical and dreamy photos by slowing your shutter speed.
“Look Down”
Shooting from above gives you an exciting perspective of mainstream, sometimes boring scenes & highlight the unique pattern of a landscape.
“Textures & Lines”
Look for those interesting patterns, textures and lines, especially those sexy diagonal "S" lines. They help to keep the viewer in the photo.
“Sense of Scale”
Including human figures in the landscape provides both a focal point and a guide to scale.
“Contrast”
With the right lights & shadows, attention will be pulled to the parts of the image where there are large contrasts in tones and it will add drama to a photograph.
“Get Intimate”
Isolate one small part of your scene around you. Get those pretty little details and embrace them.
“Keep it Simple”
Use negative space or isolate your subject. Keeping it minimal doesn’t mean keeping it boring. Sometimes, less is more.
“The Golden Ratio”
This rule force the eye of your viewer to subconsciously accept other parts of the image. This composition will be more pleasing and balanced for the human eye.
“Don’t be ruled by the light”
Never limit yourself to only shooting during golden hour or with stunning light. Go out and shoot ~ get creative!
