(a) Learn how to read an image.
Look at lots and lots of images. Stop at those images that grab your attention. Try and figure out what the reason was that made you pause and look longer at a particular image. Then try and read the message that’s somewhere in there. If you do this often enough I can guarantee that it will train you to decipher the communication that is evident in those images.

And remember one thing... too much analysis can lead to paralysis, but not enough can lead to myopia!

(b) Frames within frames, or spaces within spaces.
When you come right down to it, visualization has a lot to with looking at the larger space beyond (the area outside the viewfinder) with the help of the smaller space within (the viewfinder itself.)

Treat this viewfinder space like an empty canvas and try and fill it. The correct framing at the time of creating your image is integral in achieving the right balance between the empty spaces (or what is also referred to as ‘negative space’) and the space that you want to fill.
