Composition is a messy art and can be frustrating to learn.

But composition can be learned by anyone!

This course teaches an overall strategy for composition, not endless “tips.”

There are hundreds of examples with detailed explanations showing the process of how they were composed.

The course has plenty of practice challenges so you can really learn the material.

Note: Due to the aspect ratio difference between video and photo, there are some slight differences between the example compositions shown in the demonstrations, and the final photos presented.
