With Guest Instructor Kevin Kino

In photography and film, we talk a lot about composition (or, framing). Composition is what is included in a shot, and also how it's arranged.  For example, you can center something in a frame, but it might be more visually interesting if it's aligned to the right or left side of the image. Likewise in film, "great shots" take time to curate what your eye is drawn to, and often this is part of the story being told.

There's plenty to cover in talking about composition, but in this lesson our guest instructor Kevin Kino delves into five concepts that hone in on ways subjects can be visually arranged within a photography. This lesson is part one, and covers:

Points: A small area of interest within a composition.
Lines (aka leading lines): Lines that lead our eyes.
Shapes: Basic shapes reduced in the frame in an obvious way.
Texture: The feel of the surface of an object or substance.
Color: Using color to make a subject stand out or “pop.”

What you need:

• A basic digital camera
