PLEASE NOTE: This course builds on some of the concepts taught in Composition 1, however it is not required to complete Composition 1 first.

Improving your composition skills is the easiest way to improve your photography. Understanding and using composition techniques will greatly improve how your images communicate to your viewers. Composition is something anyone can learn, it just takes a basic understanding of some simple principles and good, old-fashioned practice. This course will get you started with both by combining theoretical discussions with hands-on shooting assignments in the field.
