Photography composition study






And working on a new project (I didn't really finish the last one eh-but I will)
Working with two subjects is not as easy as working with a single or odd number of subjects, but it can work. Probably good preparation for Cookatoo island!

Diagonals work great with double subjects. My personal favourite is creating a difference of depth physically and/or with focus. Either that our having them at similar depths(but never the same), but at different heights-better for portraits. Another common technique to get each person facing a different direction- e.g. one looking forward and one looking toward the centre. Tilting the camera can also have a pleasing effect-creating a more obvious diagonal if there isn't already. Lastly- the oldest trick in the book: rule of thirds.
