This photo tip is on the subject of composition.
Composition is the placement of visual elements in an art work, basically meaning of why your photos look a certain way. The way a photo looks or a piece of art is important because it changes how we see it, the emotions it can evoke, and how it tells a story. So learning how to improve your composition can be very important.
The compositional rule of Simplification basically means: "When in doubt leave it out." Literally, if it isn't lending to the story your photograph is trying to tell, don't include in […]
Continuing through this whole year of 2015, I'm offering my free downloadable desktop wallpaper calendars of my artwork every month. September's calendar captures the beautiful Lago di Barcis (Lake Barcis).
Lake Barcis is a beautiful lake located in the Dolomites in North East Italy. Nestled in the mountains, this lake is gorgeous from all view points.

Starting in September 2014 I started offering free downloadable desktop wallpaper calendars of my artwork. December's photo actually comes from a little snow boarding adventure we had in the Italian Alps. Near the city of Cortina, Italy lies the slopes of ski-able mountains that are beautiful and enjoyed by many skiers and snowboarders alike.
This part of the mountains are so beautiful and just go on and on. The winter snow just gives them this magnificent crisp and awe-inspiring quality to them. On a nice sunny day like the one pictured here, we could just see for miles and miles of […]
