Scranton Photography Group

Kathleen Fritch

Come and join us as we explore composition in photography.

Composition is one of the most critical element in photography. Composition is how a photographer arranges the visual elements within their image, frame. I promise you that if you search for information on composition you will find plenty You will find formal rules, opinion, some of which you can trace back to historical art movements and painters.

Even in the digital world, composition remains the key to creating strong images. Composition is what guides our eye through an image and gives importance to the subject. It creates the story for the viewer and how we as photographers convey that message.

This meetup will explore composition using our frame and tools available to us as the photographer.

I decided to try my hand at acrylic painting a little over two years ago as a hobby when I retired, and I haven?t been able to stop! This painting was a gift for my mother?s 90th birthday. I named it ?Mama?s Robin? in appreciation for the name she gave me at birth.

My amazing energy healing friend commissioned me to paint a picture of her sacred healing landscape where she takes pets and people on Shamanic journeys to receive life-changing energy healing. She verbalised her sacred space to me, and I painted this as a gift for her birthday.

Title or Location: Marvin
Meet Marvin! He?s my neighbor pup. His mom shared a photo with me that I used as a basis to practice painting. I?m not very good at drawing, so I used the photo to map out with a ruler and pencil on the canvas panel where specific features exist and then I connect the dots to ?draw? him, then I finish by painting. I?m finding that this method helps me to keep the dimensions correct across the entire panel.
