How to Use Shapes for Outdoor Photography

Once you see the various shapes in nature, you can creatively pair them together in an image. Photographing multiple shapes in one frame creates repetition and organization in your photos. In this video, David Johnston, professional outdoor photographer, will discuss how to do this using lines and rectangles.
