Foundations of Photography: Composition with Ben Long

Composition can make an interesting subject bland or make an ordinary subject appear beautiful. In this course, photographer and author Ben Long explores the concepts of composition, from basics such as the rule of thirds to more advanced topics such as the way the eye travels through a photo.

The course addresses how the camera differs from the eye and introduces composition fundamentals, such as balance and point of view. Ben also examines the importance of geometry, light, and color in composition, and looks at how composition can be improved with a variety of post-production techniques. Interspersed throughout the course are workshop sessions that capture the creative energy of a group of photography students; shooting assignments and exercises; and analyses of the work of photographers Paul Taggart and Connie Imboden.

Topics include:

Looking versus seeing

Understanding when and why to use black and white

Analyzing lines

Arranging the elements into lines and shapes

Working with perspective and symmetry

Changing focal length, camera position, and depth

Dividing rectangular frames into thirds

Weighting the corners in square pictures

Composing photographs of people

Composing landscape photos

Working with light: direction, texture, and negative space

How to shoot color

Guiding the viewer’s eye

Controlling depth

Improving composition in post-production

What customers say

Robert, US

I appreciate the help the support team provided with the installation on my computer. The tech spent well over three hours trying to get the product installed and the licensing handled. We went through numerous restarts and they always responded promptly after I sent a password for the remote access to my computer. I will highly recommend your company to others for software purchase. Thanks again.

Janet, GB

Great product, had a problem initially downloading, emailed customer services, they responded within two hours giving me a detailed work list, it worked, I now have office 2010 and I am thrilled with it. I will certainly use this software store in the future. Thanks Guys.

William Brackman, US

I thank you for all the help and patience that you have given me and I do feel that I have been a bit of a nuisance with my many requests for help. All the team have been so helpful and polite that I will certainly buy any future software that I require from you. Also your rapid response to requests is second to none and I applaud you for it.

Bob, DE

Support was very helpful in installing the program I bought. The person stayed with me until the program was succesfully installed.
