Pre-visualization by Bill Debley
​
Do you pre-visualize a shot before you frame and shoot or do you find yourself coming upon a nice subject or scene, firing off multiple shots and hope that in post a good edit with come out of it? 
Knowing how to visualize a shot in your head before you take it is paramount and the first step in the creative process. To be more successful in this photo edit challenge, pre-visualization is the key taking an image to the next level. Just as you would frame a shot before you press the shutter, look at the digital image you are going to edit, crop for strength, decide what you want to keep and eliminate everything else. Keep what’s inside the frame from getting out, and what’s outside from getting in. Composition is key, use negative space and the frame line to create tension. Since in the western world we read left to right, consider flipping the image horizontally. Often, there is a vertical within a horizontal image that may be stronger. Now, visualize what feeling you want to convey, calm, warmth, cold, color, mood, etc. Now, you’re ready to start applying your vision and editing skills. 
We have one rule: “There are no rules”! Good Luck!  Look at this presentation for an example of how previsualization works.
