An evening with Andrew McCarthy - Composition in nature photography
Mastering composition is essential for making your nature images stand out from the crowd. Andrew will explore a range of key foundational compositional principles — for example, how subject size and position within the frame help create balance and context, how mastery of backgrounds can give images more impact, and how diagonals, curves, and repeating patterns generate tension or harmony. He will suggest ways to incorporate these elements into your photography to produce more compelling images and how to make quick compositional decisions in the field.
