Shakespeare On The Square

I think the best place to see plays is outdoors. Being outside seems to always make things feel less formal and much more relaxed. Another advantage of being out is the ability to move around with a camera without disturbing others. On this image of a Shakespeare performer I came in close to include less and simplified the composition forcing the viewer to only look at what I thought was important. I think one of the essentials to successful photography is being very selective of what you include in your frame. Too much information in an image is too much information. What if I had included the audience and some of the sky and another actor on stage.Too much information, make it simple. lynnfreeny.com
