Without a frame, there is no painting, there is no photography. Without composition, what you allow into that frame is just a random collection of visual stimuli that do not contribute to any form of meaning or emotion. Composition is the key to the eyes through visual strength, to the heart through emotion and to the mind through meaning. Ignore composition at your own risk.
Refreshing insight so far, Pascal. Could what you’re on about here lead to an ‘Ah ha’ moment. Meaning, this process, assists in making it clearer in what we come to know as those instants which drive ones photographic craft, and also lets those instants guide and inform in furthering ones compositional competencies – not blindly complying to a rules based mantra, and or purloining another’s technique.
