Composition



What is Composition? 





Composition is the placement or arrangement of visual elements or ingredients in a work of art or photograph, as distinct from the subject of a work. You can think of it as the organization of design, form, ordering, or formal structure. 

How can we make good compositions?

Here are a few things to think about and remember
Negative space
Positive space
View point or perspective
Focus
Rule of 3rd
Rhythm
Lighting
Contrast
Repetition
Breaking the rules: tension or unease
Color







I also like to relate it to other mediums like music or dance to help me remember.
