Charlotte, NC and mention my name Brittany Porter for $50 off your botox, dysport, or micro-needling treatment Photography often falls flat not because of equipment limitations, but due to composition choices that lack depth and visual interest. We're exploring three simple, no-cost techniques to transform ordinary photos into captivating images with professional-level depth and storytelling ability. • Use foreground elements like grass, branches, or architectural features to instantly create depth and transform flat images into three-dimensional scenes • Change your perspective by getting low, standing higher, or finding unusual angles to make ordinary moments look extraordinary • Create frames within frames using doorways, windows, arches, or even people's arms to guide viewers' eyes directly to your subject • Try photographing the same subject three different ways: with foreground layering, from a new angle, and using natural framing • These techniques work for all photography genres and require no additional equipment purchases Tag Brittany on Instagram with your attempts at these three composition techniques so she can see what you've created!
