WHY IS COMPOSITION IMPORTANT
what is composition, and why is it so important?
In essence , composition is all about putting together objects /subjects in your view finder in a such a way as to emphasis the bits you want to make them stand out in just right way.
Those objects that include anything in the foreground, the background, Those that "frame" the picture and most importantly light.
Photography is fun form of art that a lot of people are engaged into. Artist all over the world have created some sort of uniqueness in there shots, people around the globe have appreciated the aftermath of remarkable photography.

When you compose a photo it can also give a sense of personality. it will appear originally owned by you and can also speak for itself. Apart from telling a story you show your audience your style that whenever they see your picture they will automatically know its you that owns that piece.
2. CREATES ENGAGEMENT.
A photographer in one way or the other would like to engage himself with the audience at any cost, thus he/she produce or creates an appealing photo where people appreciate it only if it looks very appealing. since photographers always want his images to be noticed and given appreciation , the proper application of photography composition technique should be observed.
3. PROFESSIONAL LOOK.

Arguably not all photographers are professional but all photographers have their own photography composition technique, for the non professional photographers try use those techniques so you can get a great image that seem like an output of a professional. With that you will surely be more encouraged to improve your photography skills and experiment on various techniques with the apt photography composition.
4.MAKES A PICTURE UNIQUE.

Most of the upcoming photographers are afraid to experiment different shots and choose which ones look a lot better. This brings me to the statement ; Every work of art strives to be unique. In every shot you make try as much as possible to be different. This way, even if you have the same subjects with other photographers each one will be unique because of the composition.
5. IT CREATES BALANCE.

Balance is vital for a picture, you have to make sure that the elements in the image look balanced and not distorted . As a photographer you should also see to it that the subject and the background are positioned well inside the frame so that you will get a good shot. It would be so presentable if your background is so large and your subject is mostly like a dot.
There is a lot more we can talk about but man must eat so permit me to stop at this point, its your turn now.
I am working on my own photography presets, soon i will post them in this platform.
