mysterious powerful element of a picture that sells
published by ASA Photography http://ww.asaphotography.com
Shots taken so far away from the subject that life-size
objects are mere pimples. Boring views that have 5% coverage of the intended and
desired theme. Constant repetition of the same unimaginative angle. Yes, you’ve
guessed it. I’m talking about composition.
If you want to sell photos, for pity’s sake THINK about what
you shoot. The first angle of view MAY be the best one, but I doubt it. The old
gunfighter adage ..no matter how fast your are…seems to apply to photography
also.
Stalk around your intended subject, look at it form all
angles, make mental photos before committing one to film or digital memory, as
the case may be. Don’t TAKE pictures MAKE them. Fill the screen with powerful
compelling artwork. Look for interesting shapes, textures, colours in the most
fascinating combination possible, given the lighting conditions and your time
constraints
How you compose your photo says everything about you, so
train your eye and mind to maximize your artistic ability. When you shoot in
pursuit of beauty, you fulfil yourself. When called upon to make pictures of
mundane everyday scenes, you will bring a eagle eye to scour the most pleasing
elements of vision and combine them in a most powerful way. You will always be
an unpredictable photographer who can capture unusual shots.
Shed the snakeskin of normality and kick out the usual
suspects in favor of the racy, the dangerous, the exciting and discover how to
enjoy your using your camera, finding the unusual angles and great whacking
compositions that draw photo-buyers to you like flies to a honey pot
You just can’t achieve that by shooting the same stuff as
the average Joe. Be a special Joe! Be successful and you’ll sell your photos
with ease.
