a detail, and a visual echo. Arrange three to five pictures; try another order.

PEOPLE TOGETHER: With two or three willing people, try a comfortable arrangement
and a shared gesture. Change spacing or orientation, then review together.
Practicing alone? Try three objects on a table.

PORTRAIT FRAMING: Make wider, intermediate, and close views with a willing
portrait partner. Compare setting, clothing, hands, and expression.
You can also try the sequence with an everyday object.

LINES: Follow an everyday edge or row of objects. Make a starting view,
move slightly sideways, and change the camera height comfortably.
Compare the route your eye follows through each photograph.

and relationships you enjoy.
