ABSTRACT
The photographer’s job is to translate the rich, limitless world of first-hand experience into the finite, two-dimensional rectangle of a photograph. We build our images by deciding what goes into the rectangle, how the elements are arranged inside it, and what we leave out. This is the act of composition. You can achieve technical perfection and still fail as a photographer if you do not have a good sense of composition. It is the art of photography; there is no objective truth to it, no sure fire path to success-it will be different for every artist.
