No More Rules! Using Human Perception in Composition
Presented by the Lehigh Valley Photography Club, Chester County Camera Club, and Morton Arboretum Photographic Society (Chicago).
Oftentimes photographers spend too much time forcing their scenes to fit the rules (which yields technically “perfect” but perhaps boring photographs) rather than arranging the subject matter based on emotional responses and human perceptions. This insightful and educational presentation by outdoor photographer/writer Colleen Miniuk goes beyond reviewing the predominant composition rules and shares how we can leverage the reasoning behind human perception (not rules!) to help elicit specific responses from our viewers. Hear how subject matter placement, the use of different types of lines, relationships between shapes, and other visual language can help us arrange our scenes to convey depth and meaning more effectively with our audiences.
