Layering:

Why should photographers layer subjects?

First off, to explain layering, layering is when you have a foreground, a middle ground, and a background. Pictures are flat, but you can create a “sense of depth” in pictures by having layers.

Why should you have layers in your photos? To start, layers add character to pictures, making it more eye catching a interesting to look at if you layer right. A couple of things to keep in mind when you are taking photos is that your layers should not overlap in the picture. maybe a little bit is fine, but it is preferred not to have overlapping. you should also put thought to whether or not something is distracting or not in your picture. When you layer you don’t to necessarily have one subject, but instead have two or three or even more layers that are all interesting to look at.

How should photographers’ layer in their pictures?

It may have already been explain but there’s multiple things you should and shouldn’t do while you are layering. It was already stated that you should have multiple interesting layers. This is to create a story within the picture and make your mind go places and have an imagination of what might be going on in the photo. The second thing is that the layers shouldn’t overlap. It’s pretty distracting and annoying to look at a photo and some of the story is cut out because something else is in the way. the third thing to think about when you are layering is that you want to keep your viewers interested. You want your subjects to be in key places in your picture. When you use these three tactics, it will greatly advance how your pictures will look in your layering.
