Simple lighting and composition

Lighting and composition are the main elements of a good photograph

Lighting and composition are the main elements of a good photograph. The easiest visual meditation is to observe light and shadows. Look at the shapes, forms, and textures of everyday things in your home. Watch the light coming through the windows and the shadows it creates. Even the most ordinary objects can look amazing if the light hits them just right.

This image is part of a series I call “iPhone photography sketches.” My goal is to bring everyday objects to life using simple lighting and composition, without worrying about technical camera settings.

Set the aspect ratio of your photos to 1:1 in your camera app. This will create square photos that give your images a fine art look.

I teach virtual mobile photography workshops to help you explore your artistic potential. Please read more about how I can help you with your creative projects.
