05 Leading lines: giving your photography some direction – with Jack Hollingsworth

05 Leading lines: giving your photography some direction – with Jack Hollingsworth In this lesson we visit Grey's Beach and Boardwalk to explore the concept of leading lines to create a dynamic composition. You'll discover how to identify leading lines in your surroundings and use them to guide the viewer's eye to your main subject. Diagonals, converging lines, curved lines and more. You'll learn how to position your subject in relation to the lines and how to use them to create a sense of depth and movement in your photos. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Intentional iPhoneography was originally published on the Moment Photography learning platform in January 2023.
