Creative techniques and composition strategies to capture iconic locations differently! With @__orsini / Photographing iconic places is both a gift and a challenge. Places like Mont-Saint-Michel are rich in visual history, and yet, in the hands of a thoughtful photographer, even the most familiar landmarks can feel fresh again. These images by @__orsini are a good example. Below, we’re diving into a few research-backed photography techniques to help you create images of Mont-Saint-Michel (or any iconic location) that feel fresh: 1) Most of us learn the “rule of thirds” early on. But did you know there’s another rule called the diagonal method? Instead of placing your subject off to the side, you place key elements along the diagonal lines of your frame. It creates more tension and energy — and can make even a familiar subject feel more dynamic. 2) Photographic studies show that when a photo has strong lines leading somewhere, viewers spend more time looking at it — and feel more connected to the subject. For this location, look for the tide lines in the sand, the causeway at low tide, or even the curve of the clouds on a stormy day. Use these elements to lead the viewer’s eye directly to the abbey. 3) Our brains love patterns, but we notice when something breaks them. That’s why you can make a stronger image by adding something that doesn’t belong. Like a lone bird in the sky. A person in bright red. 4) Get low, high, or anywhere new. Changing your perspective can change everything! 5) Frame it like you are telling a secret. Use archways, tree branches, or even other people in the frame to “peek” at Mont-Saint-Michel instead of showing it all at once - like you’ve discovered a secret view. 6) Lastly, you don’t need the best camera in the world, but the gear you choose shapes how you see: a tilt-shift lens keeps vertical lines straight for a clean architectural look, a telephoto lens brings distant details closer and compresses layers, a drone reveals the vastness of the bay from above, and a film camera slows you down, making you more intentional while capturing timeless colors and textures.”
