Awareness of what’s going on in your compositions’ foreground, middle ground, and background helps you take better photos.
Many beginning photographers concentrate on their subject alone and forget how vital the other layers of a photo are.
Composition is a key to any great photo.
Being aware of the three levels of depth within a photo helps you better use the space within your frame.
You see in three dimensions, but photographs are only two dimensional. If you can translate the perceived depth into a flat image, your photos will be more attractive.
The background of a photo is usually at the top of the frame. Sometimes it’s also at the sides. The middle ground makes up the midsection of an image, and it’s usually where the main subject of a photo is. The foreground can be in any part of the frame.
