15 points to promote landscape photography to art

Generally speaking, our understanding of composition is how to put the scenery in the frame well, make people look comfortable and express the subject clearly. For example, dichotomy is a very basic and important technology in landscape photography. For photographer Alan Bouriaud, composition is an important element that makes landscape photography an art, including the core concept of how to express images in the picture. Look at his list of 15 points, which may inspire you:

1. Composition is the most powerful way to "watch"?

2. Composition is not only to put the scene in the picture, but also to use color, contrast and light.

3. The purpose of composition is to express personal views and feelings about the scene. Not to record the scene, nor to take photos with perfect technology. The emphasis is on expressiveness.

The camera is objective, but what the artist sees and feels is subjective.

5. Think about light first. How light illuminates the subject is more important than the subject itself.

6. When using the foreground composition method, you should find a large enough and good enough foreground.

7. People are very good at thinking and watching in this way by means of contrast, such as: still/moving, young/old, big/small, etc.

8. Stop taking pictures of other people, or you might as well buy postcards. Please create your own composition and images.

9. Being inspired by other people's works and copying other people's works are two different things.

10. No amount of technology can make up for the lack of inspiration. They are two levels.

1 1. People make photos, not cameras. Of course, cameras are necessary, but only people can drive them.

12. The so-called "correctness" is the way to make your creation work.

13. The straightforward art photos are just legends.

14. The color that best expresses your feelings is the "correct" color balance.

15) excellent composition, which you didn't see until the first time you created it.
