The Art Of Seeing In Photography 

In photography, like other visual arts, an artist should use basic visual effects to create the art. The Art Of Seeing is one the most important aspects in photography. Therefore, as photographer you need to learn how to see the scene. However, in nature we see everything in colour, and colour can be so deceiving. Here is an example that shows how colours are very deceiving, or rather distracting.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”22318″ img_size=”600×400″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”slideInRight” title=”Colour Version”][vc_column_text]However, when I removed the colours from this photo, it is not as attractive as it used to be.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”22316″ img_size=”600×400″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”slideInRight” title=”Black and White Version”][vc_column_text]

Don’t let the Colours decide for you!

Colours are so pretty and everyone likes the colourful images. However, they don’t have much value for composition in photography. Here is another example.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”22320″ img_size=”600×400″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”slideInRight” title=”Colour Version”][vc_column_text]This photo looks very pleasing. It also has some basic composition rules, but it does not bear any photographic value. Here is why. After converting the photo to black and white, you notice that the photo is so flat and boring![/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”22321″ img_size=”600×400″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”slideInRight” title=”Black and White Version”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Art Of Seeing Photography Class” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:35|text_align:left|color:%23aa3300|line_height:1″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_column_text]Highlights and Shadows play a big role in photography composition. By understanding the rules of shadows and highlights, composition will be easy for a photographer. However, at first you need to teach your brain not to get distracted by colours.

Chasing Shadows and Highlights is an intermediate to advanced photography class which is specially developed for focusing on the Art Of Seeing in Photography. This workshop is scheduled for September 14th. Please visit the link for more details.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
