What is Composition?

To define composition it is the arrangement of visual elements within the frame of a photograph. It is important to understand composition because a photograph is considered great when every single element in it contributes to one overall effect or final result. For example, line, texture, shape, motion, and perspective are all elements of a photograph. If you understand composition then you will be able to apply it correctly. But if you just memorize composition, then your photograph will not turn out as great.

SNAPSHOT vs. PHOTOGRAPHS

A snapshot is simply a photo taken that could be looked back on as memories.

A photograph is a photo taken that someone has put much time into to create or interpret a meaning behind it. A photograph is much more composed than a snapshot. The photographer must fiddle with the composition and elements within the photograph to show the meaning of the photo.

Photography is the art of discovery.
