- If an image is divided into 9 equal segments by 2 vertical and 2 horizontal lines then you should position the most important elements in your scene along these lines. Doing so will add balance to your photo.
- By placing your main subject off-centre it creates a more interesting photo but you must fill the empty space with another object of lesser importance.
- When you place lines ( curvy,straight, diagonal, ec.) in a photo it can affect how people view the objects placed in the photo.
Symmetry and Patterns:
- Using symmetry and patterns can really catch the viewer's attention. One way to use this rule is to have the symmetry and pattern break, causing tension and making one point in the photo the focus.
Viewpoint:
- Considering what viewpoint you want to take a photo from is very crucial. From ground level to side view, where you position your object can have a huge affect on the message and or image you are trying to convey.
- Make sure u find a plain and unobtrusive background and make sure that the background does not direct attention away from the subject.
- You must choose your composition carefully in order to convey the sense of depth that was present in the actual scene of the photo. To create depth in a photo you can and objects to the foreground, middle ground, and background. You can also overlap different layers to demonstrate depth in a photo.
Framing:
- When placing certain object, such as; trees archways and holes, around the edges of a photo you can isolate the main subject from its surroundings. This draws the viewers focus on the point of interest.
Cropping:
- By cropping around a small subject surrounded by a busy background you are able to eliminate the background "noise" causing the viewer to focus on the main subject.
- There are many different rules and guides to taking photos. Sometimes we take the best photos when we are just experimenting with what we have. Try and discover new things, photography does not have a reaching point.
