David Akoubian (GA) Chance, Necessity or Inspiration - the Why's
of Composition
One of the most common
questions I get when people are looking at my images, or while at a workshop or
class is “Why did you compose the image that way”? There are really 3 scenarios that come to
mind when composing: chance, necessity
or inspiration. Chance may have put you
into the spot and it happens to be the only composition. Necessity dictates the composition where
there could be obstructions that need to be excluded or objects included in the
frame. Inspiration refers to your vision
or translation of a scene beyond the ordinary.
This program will focus on these 3 scenarios and examine how to
successfully create an image when presented with any situation. (Sponsored by Tamron) (B,
