Compose on purpose. A simple frame + flow system to decide what belongs in your shot and where the eye goes next.
Across two tightly connected lessons, we’ll demystify framing (what you include, exclude, and how the frame itself changes emotion) and direction (how lines, light, shapes, and movement guide the eye). You’ll learn tested ways to create depth, place subjects with intention, align forms to your frame, leverage negative space, and edit with purpose so your images read the way you want them to be read.
This class is led by Richard Goodwin-Wilcox, a commercial food and product photographer working across advertising and branding, with a parallel practice in travel and landscape photography for editorial and print. His teaching blends a clear artistic philosophy with hands-on technique always anchored to what actually happens on a real job.
As Richard puts it, “Composition is the artistic arrangement of visual elements,” and it only matters if it changes how your viewer feels and reads the image.
