Geometry - what’s it good for?

1 hour 28 minutes

Recently Shelly Corbett chatted with Sabrina Perry and Chris Whitlow about one of our photo challenges: #TP_Geometry. We had a lively discussion regarding Geometry - what's it good for? It turns, a lot! Geometry is an important compositional tool and can turn your photos from ok to fantastic with a little awareness of how and when to use it.

A few of our take aways

With any good discussion, our insights were many. Here is a partial list of what we cover in this conversation:

Using any word associate with math is probably not the best selling point

Formal composition is your friend. In fact, its really important!

Understanding the various forms of mathematical composition can help you understand why an image works. This gives you a stronger base to work from.

Composition is only one tool in your photography tool box. Photography has a lot of moving parts to keep in your mind at once.

What? Those guidelines on the back of my camera and phone have a purpose! Yes, turn them on!!

Check out all the image that we discuss over on the blog.
