When I’m out photographing, the first composition is rarely the final one. I’ll frame something up, step back, and think it might work — but more often than not, it feels slightly off. Not wrong, just unfinished. And that’s usually when the real work begins. In this video, I talk about the small, often unnoticed decisions that shape a photograph in the field. Tiny movements. Subtle adjustments. Choosing what to include, what to exclude, and knowing when to stop forcing a scene that isn’t coming together. These micro-decisions may not feel important in the moment, but together they’re often the difference between a photo that’s fine and one that really works. This isn’t about rules or formulas. It’s about slowing down, paying attention, and refining a composition one small choice at a time. I share how I approach a scene once the tripod is down, what I look for at the edges of the frame, and how experience has changed the way I move and think while photographing. If you’ve ever felt like your images are almost there but not quite, this video will likely resonate. As always, thanks for watching, and I’d love to hear how you approach composition in the field.
