We have the opportunity to make many images in our lives. Access to cameras has been greatly democratized, but this leads to a world of images... sometimes banal ones. And while not everyone wants to become a great photographer, the fact remains that composition is interesting because it gives meaning to the image we want to capture.
Professional photographer Davud Duchemin shows you how to avoid certain common compositional errors.
For example, make sure you don't have elements in the background that are too distracting from the subject. Cutting out the latter also leads to an uneasy feeling of wanting to visually complete the cut-off face or missing hands. The subject doesn't always have to be at the center. It does if you want to show symmetry, for example. It's also better to leave space to see the movement, the environment, to give it meaning.
Obviously, all these rules can be "betrayed" for aesthetic reasons, but this must be clear in the photos taken. The idea in composition is, like a film director, to use all the evocative power of the image to convey something.
