Foreground, Middle Ground, and Background in Photography

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’s narrative, depth, and perspective. In this article, we’ll explore these layers, their significance, and how to effectively use them in your photography. <h1>What are the foreground, middle ground, and background?</h1> <img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*bgJPCKpTFnSsEBqCqtGOYg.jpeg" style="height:467px; width:700px" /> Photo by <a href="https://matthewsaville.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Matthew Saville</a> <ul> <li>The <a href="https://www.slrlounge.com/glossary/foreground-definition-photography/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">foreground</a> 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.
