Foundation of Landscape Photography

Join Mahesh Thapa, “the Starving Photographer” for an engaging session on the fundamentals of landscape photography. We’ll explore the essential “rules” of composition—like the rule of thirds, leading lines, and framing—and discuss how and when to break them creatively. You’ll also get practical gear recommendations, from must-have lenses to tripods and filters. Most importantly, we’ll dive into how to approach landscapes with intention, cultivating a thoughtful eye for light, subject placement, and storytelling. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your technique, this talk will help you create more compelling and impactful landscape imaMahesh Thapa is predominately a travel, nature and landscape photographer based out of Seattle, WA.
