Elements and Rules of Composition with Vera Stevens
2025-12-03 19:45 - 22:00 | Harris Primary Academy, Beckenham Green, BR3 5JG, St Georges Road,, Beckenham, Beckenham, GR3 5JG, United Kingdom
In the words of Vera:
I picked up a camera around fifteen years ago, and that was it—I was hooked. I enjoy photographing anything and everything, though architecture and people are my favourite subjects. My work has been featured in Time Out London, and I’ve exhibited at the Croatian Embassy in London—Croatia being my country of origin. When I’m not taking photos, I work as a primary school teacher.
In my presentation, I’ll share some of the photographs I’ve taken over the years, while hopefully giving you some useful tips on the various elements involved in composing an image, as well as key rules of composition.
