Photography lesson day 4 - Simplify

DAY 4

3. Simplify the photo means the photo doesn’t contain elements that distracts the viewers from the subject matter or the only thing sharply focus if the subject. In wide-angle lens try not including bright area the will distract the viewers for the subject or too much action happening behind the subject unless these elements are helpful in making the image stronger.


Notice that the only thing sharp in the picture is the hand and rosary everything else is blurred or another way of doing it is filling the frame with just hand and rosary.





Another way to simplify is to fill your frame with the subject. Notice that the frame is only filled with kids wearing hats.




Assignment D:
Shoot any subject you want using this technique. Make sure to simplify. Shoot as many as you can & explore new ways of simplifying the image
