Description
Richard Goodwin-Wilcox—dives into one of the most foundational and powerful aspects of photography composition: the frame. Aimed at beginner photographers with basic camera knowledge, this lesson explores how framing choices, aspect ratios, space, and subject placement influence the emotional impact of an image. Richard breaks down key concepts like positive vs. negative space, foreground/midground/background layering (a concept he playfully calls “grounding”), and techniques like “frame within a frame” and frame alignment. The class closes with actionable advice on how to take these theoretical ideas into real-world practice.
