Keep your compositions clean and free of distractions from "summary" of Learning to See Creatively by Bryan Peterson
When you are composing a photograph, simplicity is key. This means eliminating any elements that do not add to the overall message or story of the image. By keeping your compositions clean and free of distractions, you are able to create a more powerful and impactful photograph. One way to achieve simplicity in your compositions is to carefully consider the background of your image. Is there anything in the background that is taking away from the main subject? If so, try adjusting your angle or moving closer to your subject to eliminate these distractions. Additionally, paying attention to the lighting in your image can help you create a cleaner composition. Harsh shadows or blown-out highlights can detract from the overall impact of your photograph. Clarity is another important aspect to consider when composing your images. This means making sure that your subject is clearly defined and easily identifiable to the viewer. One way to achieve clarity in your compositions is to use a shallow depth of field to blur the background and make your subject stand out. You can also use leading lines or framing techniques to guide the viewer's eye to the main subject of your image.- You are able to create images that are visually appealing and easy to understand. This not only helps you convey your message more effectively, but also keeps the viewer engaged with your work. So next time you are composing a photograph, remember to simplify your compositions, ensure clarity, and eliminate any distractions that may detract from the overall impact of your image.
