Keeping It Simple

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” ~ Confucius

How do we make life complicated? By slowly adding more and more things and activities to our lives until everything feels overwhelming. It’s insidious and much of what we add is not essential. How can we make sure that our lives moving forward reflect what we discovered?

The same goes for photography. We find ourselves drawn to a particular subject. Here’s what can happen next.

• We include other elements to the scene to make our subject more “interesting”.
• We include other elements without even being aware of them.
• We don’t give our subject enough space.

In this course, you’ll learn compositional techniques too, but most of all, you’ll practice slowing down and noticing what really resonated with you in the first place. Each section contains a lesson for simplifying a photograph and simplifying your life. The eight section topics are:

1 – What is simplicity?

2 – Simplicity versus Minimalism

3 – Design

4 – Space

5 – Expressing Significance

6 – Expressing Emotion

7 – Silence and Stillness

8 – Impact
