5. Choice:
What part of the subject to include in the photo?
Should it be framed horizontally or vertically?
6. Horizontally framed photos
They are best for:
• When an object is horizontally placed
or is wider than it is tall.
• For objects in motion, since it leaves
room for movement
• To visually enlarge the space
(landscape photography)
7. Vertically framed photos
They are best for:
• When the object is taller than it is
wide
• When the object is moving vertically
• When the goal is to focus on a
particular object (decreased
distraction from the surroundings)

19. Generally, pictures with
objects directly in the
center are experienced as
more static and less
interesting from the photos
that set the object outside
the center.
23. Rule of thirds
• The most basic rule for good balanced
photography
• The photo is divided in thirds
horizontally and again vertically, so you
get 9 parts
•
• The idea is to place the object in one of
the thirds
*Tip: place the eyes in an intersection of
two lines

Dictate the mood:

constant through time
• Vertical: stability and peace
• Diagonal: action and dynamics

46. Diagonal lines as leading
lines that indicate the
direction of the photo -
easier to follow the
subject
