Composition in Photography is how a photographer arranges visual elements within the frame. First we will go over basic skills and how to use these towards our creative endeavors. The viewfinder will become our canvas and we will work on rule of thirds, leading lines, visual weight, balance and perspective. This meetup is suitable for advanced beginners, and anyone looking to refine how they build a photograph.
