Week Three: Composition

Photo by Tom Ang/via BBC

In our last meeting, we looked at basic photographic composition and discussed various fundamentals such as the rule of thirds, avoiding mergers, leading lines and framing.

Photographers we looked at were Susan Meiselas, David Alan Harvey, Alex Webb, and an extended examination of work from Henri Cartier-Bresson from where the term "decisive moment" was coined.
