SELF-PACED COURSE · GO DEEPER

Composition: Beyond the Basics

A twelve-week online course that takes composition past the rules you already know, and into the decisions that actually make a photograph hold someone’s eye.

Yours to keep

You already know the thirds and the leading lines. This course is about what comes after them; the viewpoint decisions, the visual weight, the space you leave at the edges, the small choices that quietly separate a photograph you like from one you love.

Each of the twelve weeks takes a single idea and breaks it down into something clear and practical you can use straight away, so your photographs move from fine to genuinely arresting; with a framework and a set of checklists you’ll keep reaching for long after the course ends.

You work at your own pace, and you’re not doing it alone. There’s a private community (not Facebook) where you can share your progress and see what others are making.

How this one runs. This is a self-paced course, not a live workshop. There’s no individual feedback on your images from Emma (the community is where work is shared and discussed) and the price reflects that. What you get is the complete course, permanently, to work through whenever life allows.
