Foreground, Middle Ground, and Background in Photography

<p>The difference between a good photo and a great photo often comes down to its composition. A composition with multiple layers is often more complex and interesting. The three layers in a photograph, a video, or a painting are 1) the foreground, 2) middle ground, and 3) background. Delving into these layers helps to shape an image&rsquo;s narrative, depth, and perspective. In this article, we&rsquo;ll explore these layers, their significance, and how to effectively use them in your photography.</p> <h1>What are the foreground, middle ground, and background?</h1> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*bgJPCKpTFnSsEBqCqtGOYg.jpeg" style="height:467px; width:700px" /></p> <p>Photo by&nbsp;<a href="https://matthewsaville.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Matthew Saville</a></p> <ul> <li>The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.slrlounge.com/glossary/foreground-definition-photography/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">foreground</a>&nbsp;refers to the part of the image that is closest to the camera.</li> <li>The middle ground is intermediary layer that connects the foreground to the background.
