PE15 - Foreground, Middleground, Background

Hi everybody. Welcome to Episode 15 of the Photography Explained podcast.

I’m your host Rick McEvoy and I explain one photographic thing per episode in plain English in less that 10 minutes without the irrelevant detail. I have well over 30 years of experience in photography so I do know what I am talking about!

In this episode - Foreground, Middleground, Background

Here is my answer

The foreground element should be the first thing that the viewer sees, with the middleground being next. These two elements when combined correctly, take the viewers eye naturally to the background which provides a sense of depth and further interest to the viewer. When you carefully combine the foreground, middleground and background in a composition you will be creating a better photo. Get these elements right and you create an interesting photo, giving a 2D image a sense of depth.
