One of the biggest traps in landscape photography is trying to include everything in a scene. And while it can work, I would argue that it actually makes good landscape photographs a more difficult thing to achieve. It’s why I often err towards trying to get the best minimalist landscape photographs that I can. I find them more appealing in many situations, and I also find them quite difficult to achieve, but a hell of a lot of fun. So let’s take a look at what makes minimalist landscape photography challenging and how we can overcome those trials for better images.
Mastering composition is one of the most powerful things you can do to improve your photography. And while you can start out with basic compositions as you progress, you are going to want to become more advanced in this facet of the craft. This list of tutorials will let you dig a lot deeper than rudimentary composition. By using each of these composition techniques or even combining them, you will begin to find various methods of drawing a viewer’s eye into your compelling images.
Shadows are powerful elements in photography and they decide how an image looks – subtle, soft and elegant or high contrasty and dramatic. Without shadows, an image can look very flat and shadows help to add depth and dimension to images.
Jean submitted a very intriguing image titled “House of the shadows” that won the first place.
We’re happy to announce the winner of January’s competition, “Rhythm And Repetition.” Kim captured this stunning photo of a Zebra with striking repetitive patterns and has composed the image in a way the focus is limited to the repeating patterns and the rhythm created as a result. Keeping just the eyes in the frame has allowed the viewer to focus on the interesting patterns and how they work as a powerful compositional tool.
Congratulations on capturing a very effective Rhythm and Repetition photo Kim!
