Simplicity in Photography

Questions:
What is the point that photographer Ron Craig shares in this short article?
Why does he think this point is so important in photography?
What are the two best ways for a photographer to achieve simplicity?
What are some others?
What do you think of his advice?
Agree or disagree?
Explain.

The main idea or point that the article is making is that simplicity can make the best photos. It tends to be more emotionally compelling and easier for the viewer to understand. Two ways to achieve simplicity is to get closer to the object of focus. Also, paying attention to color- the brightest color are what we notice first, and having contrast between the objects color and the background achieve the greatest simplicity. Other techniques are more complex, including selective focusing and contrast management. I agree with Craig. I love doing close-ups and focusing on a single object. Those tend to be my best shots.
