Composition is easy to talk about but difficult to explain.” However, landscape photographer Robert Rodriguez offers a wonderfully comprehensive discussion of the elements that go into a pleasing landscape composition and how that provides the viewer with meaning. From his basic presupposition that “less is more,” Rodriguez demonstrates his distillation process to form a simple composition that creates his desired meaning. He also discusses visual language and grammar, lines, patterns, and color in composition, as well as how to manage complexity within the frame and, lastly, how composition bridges the arts of music and photography.
