Depth<br />

Because photography is a two-dimensional medium, we have to choose our composition carefully to<br />

conveys the sense of depth that was present in the actual scene. You can create depth in a photo by<br />

including objects in the foreground, middle ground and background. Another useful composition<br />

technique is overlapping, where you deliberately partially obscure one object with another. The human<br />

eye naturally recognises these layers and mentally separates them out, creating an image with more depth.<br />
