Adding Impact to Your Image

A challenge with any photo is bringing a sense of impact to the composition; whether it’s a gorgeous palette of colours (as Younes Bounhar has shown here) or emphasizing a particular aspect of a subject (as shown by Richard Thompson here), a simple image with a strong subject, is always more powerful.

Of course, as photographers, that is our main challenge. Practice and study are the two main ways to build your “eye”. With that in mind, I’ve been out building my portfolio and practicing.

Coming Storm

With this photo I wanted to emphasis the power of the monster motor in the Dodge Viper. I think the overcast day and a very low perspective impart that sense of menace.
