Free Your Format

Make the most out of all your tools and learn that you can shoot anything with persistence and Photoshop

Format is the shape of the frame that you shoot. The shape depends on the camera: DSLRs typically use the 3:2 proportion, for example (a hangover from 35mm film cameras). It also has to do with the sensor size, hence terms like medium-format and largeformat that also came from the days of film, but for composition it’s the proportion of width to height that counts.
