Photography is about more than just taking a photo—it’s about taking the best photo you can every time. A rubbish composition will give you a rubbish photo. A great composition will give you a great photo.

Create better compositions, and you will end up with better photos – and in this episode, I help you to do just this – what is not to love?

So, if you want to learn how to create better compositions, listen on.

In this episode, I tell you 

• What is composition?
• What are the fundamentals of composition?
• Why the subject matter is so important.
• How light makes or breaks a photo.
• The other elements of a composition.
• Some things that you can do – yes, you, dear listener

I also tell you

• What if you use a phone to take photos
• What I do
• How you can ask me a question
• And a little bit about me.

All explained in plain English, without the irrelevant detail, in (much) less than 27 (ish) minutes!

What is not to love? How utterly splendid!
