Photography Composition Techniques

Fifteen composition techniques, broken down the way you'd actually use them - not just what they're called, but why they work on the eye, how to apply them in the two seconds you get on the street versus the two hours you get on a paid shoot, and the specific mistakes that quietly undo each one.

What's Inside

Every technique gets its own page, a reference image, then four sections:

• What It Is - a plain description, no jargon
• Why It Works - the actual psychology behind it, not just "it looks nice"
• How To Use It - practical application for fast, opportunistic shooting and planned, deliberate shoots
• Common Mistakes - the specific way this technique most often goes wrong

Who It's For

Anyone who wants their eye to work faster. Whether that's a stranger on the street with thirty seconds to spare, a beautiful scene, or a full paid session where you've got the time to plan every element.

This isn't a checklist to tick off; it's built to eventually stop being conscious thought and just become how you see.
