Picture element leading line by Dave  Higgins

Picture element leading line by

n my approach to photographic composition. The viewer of the image does not look at the image but through it. The task of the artist is to control the path of that journey.
Every image is made up of picture elements. You can choose to control how these elements work are not. If you choose to control the picture elements the first step is to identify them. I like to have no more then three working picture elements. One of these elements needs to be dominant. How we arrange these elements will control how the viewer looks through the image
