Great podcast, Marko! I really echo your comments on looking out for gestures and gesturing. They bring a dynamic to an image that can really enhance story-telling. When photographing people, for example, I try to watch faces, hands and feet in particular, and get ready to capture a definitive motion or gesture that’s related to what that person is doing.

I have several techniques I use when I find myself struggling with composition. First, I switch eyes. I am naturally a left-eyed shooter. If I switch to my right eye, I see the subject differently and maybe find a better composition. Second, I press the depth of field preview button on my camera. Especially at small aperatures, this can dramatically change the preview of the image and guide me to better composition. Finally, I will set my camera at 2 second delay before taking the picture. In the two seconds before the shutter actuates, I make last instant tiny changes in composition. Naturally, I would rather see the best composition of an image instinctively. But on days when this doesn’t work, these three tricks often guide me to the best shot.
