How to Build a Landscape Frame That Actually Works: Lessons from William Patino
I spent last October shooting the Crooked River canyon outside Bend. Three mornings in a row, golden light, no wind, perfect conditions on paper. I came home with technically clean images that felt completely flat. Sharp foreground rocks, a nice sky, clean exposure. Dead on arrival. Something was off in the architecture of the frames and I couldn’t name exactly what. That’s when I sat down with this William Patino tutorial on landscape composition, and within the first ten minutes I had a specific language for the problem I’d been circling around for weeks.
