How often do you stop and take a good look at what’s at your feet? Maybe not often, right? Well, if you do take the time, you’re likely to find subjects that have a lot to offer, including some with the most amazing structures. Take our example, the humble dandelion, found in any garden or park. It may seem unremarkable from above, but by getting down to a worm’s eye view and breaking out the macro lens, you’ll unlock the door to dynamic creative possibilities.
You see, using structure in your images brings with it a multitude of benefits. It can lead the viewer’s eye through the frame, leading them to a point of interest. Alternatively, you can use a strong outline structure to fill the frame with abstract lines – there really are no rules and experimentation is the best route to fresh and interesting pictures.
