Dexter Yarbrough: Keeping images simple and gorgeous

Simplicity in composition is a potent but overlooked aspect in taking good photographs. While a little variety is acceptable—even desirable—in some cases, professional photographers, like Dexter Yarbrough often strive to keep their photographic subjects simple to focus on capturing the essence of their subject better. Whether commercial or amateur, single-subject photos can display beauty in simplicity, regardless of the backdrop.

To achieve simplicity, the subject of an image does not need to be the only image in the picture. However, in these cases, there is only one subject—an object, group of objects, or interaction—that dominates the picture. This single subject, when taking place in the crowd, should be isolated through lighting or focus when taking place in areas like the outdoors where excessive detail could draw attention away from the subject.

For photographers, like Dexter Yarbrough, who try to achieve simplicity in a photograph, capturing the right amount of detail is the key. The details captured of objects other than the subject would ideally be minimal or would stand in stark contrast to the subject. It takes a trained eye and a lot of skill to achieve this in events, but once achieved, the results are stunning.

Wedding photography—and, indeed, event photography—need to follow the event as it plays through.
