Composition Tips from a Man Who Studied with Ansel Adams

There are only a few people alive as qualified to give photography and composition advice as Huntington Witherill. A former “artist of the year,” he studied under the great Ansel Adams and in this video he describes his approach to composing eye-catching images.

The video is part of Marc Silber’s Advancing Your Photography Show, and throughout their conversation they touch repeatedly, not just on composition, but more specifically on “visualization”: what it means to Witherill, and how he does it.

Even if you don’t walk away with specific “tips” or “secrets” for composition, the video and Witherill’s words are sure to help light your creative fire.
