Struggling to make your compositions feel right—like something's just... off? You might be missing one of the most important (and overlooked) tools in photography: visual weight and balance. In this video, I break down how certain elements in your frame—such as brightness, contrast, colour, texture, and positioning—can subtly shift the way your image feels. We’ll explore how to recognise visual weight, how to use it to guide the viewer’s eye, and how to create more compelling, balanced photographs without relying on rules or formulas. You’ll learn: What visual weight actually is (and what creates it) How to balance a photo without making it boring The difference between static and dynamic balance Common composition mistakes that throw off your image How to use space, light, and detail to build stronger frames If you enjoyed my last video on aspect ratios, this is the perfect follow-up—now that you've changed the shape of the frame, it's time to think about what goes inside it. Whether you're photographing landscapes, forests, or abstract scenes, understanding visual balance will give your images clarity, energy, and intent.
