This course will introduce you to the rules of composition in photography.
A good knowledge of the rules of composition will provide you with the basis for balanced, harmonious images. Once you've mastered these rules, you'll be able to adapt your composition to suit the message you wish to convey. An image with the same subject can be read differently, depending on how it has been composed. The rules of composition help to guide the viewer through the image and hold his or her attention.
In the second part of this course, you'll discover how to break free from the rules of composition, or more precisely, how to get around some of them. Sometimes, simply moving an element in a composition is enough to create an interesting image.
Finally, we'll give you tips on architectural photography, a field that requires great rigor in terms of composition.
Course content :
Rules of composition (rule of thirds, perspective, scale, shape, etc.)
Lines (horizontal, vertical, diagonal, etc.)

Excellent time spent with David. I'm no longer a beginner, but this course enabled me to check my knowledge and learn new shooting techniques that I would never have dared before.
Looks like a tutorial is on the way!
Thanks again!

Very attracted by architectural photography, but a total novice in this field, I decided to take the "composition" course offered by David, and asked him to do a photo shoot on the La Défense site in Paris. 3 hours (and much more...) of surveying the site and discovering the art of composition and the power of lines. David is there to accompany us, dispensing his skills with passion, patience and pedagogy, showing us both the mythical spots and the lesser-known, equally photographic locations. The key elements of the special art of architectural photography are reviewed and explained simply and effectively. By the end of the course, we'll be able to (already) take some surprising and very flattering shots!
Thank you David for these enriching moments and your natural empathy, which is undoubtedly your second speciality after your qualities as a photographer and Photoshop wizard! See you soon! It was a great moment
