As I mentioned in one of my previous tutorials, one of the best ways to improve your photos is to train and do the “stretch” of your mind. We must develop our imagination. Moreover, we should analyze what we see in front of our eyes. So, back to the topic – how can we make better photographs?
The answer lies in complexity. To be more precise: the complexity of the picture. To give you a further explanation, we have to take a look at pictures number one (1.1 & 2.1) attached to two sets of images. At first glance, we do not see anything unusual in these photos. But, please, take a glance at the next pictures in both sets. Don’t they look familiar in each package? Yes, you are right: all the photos in each collection, from points no. two to five (1.2-1.4 & 2.2-2.5), were made of the first picture per package. I cropped them in Lightroom.
There is a theory that says that if you can create two or more images by dividing the picture, this kind of photo must be OK.
This process can connect with symmetry, as we can see in the first set. But this balance is not the necessary thing to make a good photo. Collection no. 2 is proof. But how can we make such images? The answer is simple, on the one hand, but on the other hand, paradoxically hard to believe. We all see such sights during our day-to-day activities. The case is that we do not analyze what we see. We do not “stretch” our imagination. We do not have time for that. That is why I encourage you, my Dear Friend, to slow down in your life. I encourage you to take more walks, the best it would be if you take the camera with you.
But having a camera is not a necessary tool to improve the power of your imagination.
To summarize: stroll, observe, analyze. Hunt for the scenes and photographs which you can divide into two, three, or more frames. The more you do that, the more visually sensible you become. Thus, you start to make progress in one of your passion, that is photography.
