Basic Elements
of Photographic
Composition
Theory of Photographic
Composition can be
summed up in this phrase—
”You do not TAKE a photo,
you MAKE a photo”
For most, “Taking” a photo
is another way of making a
record of a moment in time.
The Birthday, The Graduation, The
Vacation, The Friends, The BFF !!!
“Taking” a photo is a reflex.
“Making” a photo is a
thoughtful act
The word “Thoughtful” is not
used to suggest kindness,
consideration, or sympathy.
It is a “Thought-filled” action
