Let's talk about composition and how light and color play a role. Artists often get bogged down by confusing rules, but composition is about visual communication—what do we want to say with our images? There are two types: geometric composition—the placement of objects, lensing, framing, repetition, leading lines, blocks, and the rule of thirds; and lighting composition, which affects how we see an image. By understanding these principles, instead of relying on luck, we can create better images.
