Simplicity in Photographic Composition

Shiny Flower Macro By Cobalt123

When composing photographs, try to keep it as simple as possible. By keeping a photograph simple, you will often create an effect of singling out the subject from its surroundings. Simplicity is one of the basic photography composition techniques along with “Rule of Thirds“.

A cluttered photograph often distracts the viewer away from your subject and makes the photography less pleasing to the viewer. To achieve this effect, you can move closer towards your subject. The amazing flower at the top of the post is a prime example of this.
