Since photography is a two dimensional
medium, we have to select our arrangement
sensibly to convey the sense of depth that
was present in the real scene.
2. RULE OF THIRDS
You should place the most
significant features in your scene
along these outlines, or at the
points where they interconnect.
BALANCING ELEMENTS
You must balance the "weight" of your
subject by adding another object of les
ser significance to fill the space.
3. LEADING LINES
In thinking about how you place lines
in your composition, you can affect the
way we view the image, pulling us into
the picture, towards the subject, or on
a journey "through" the scene.
SYMMETRY AND PATTERNS
One more best approach to use them
is to break the symmetry or pattern in
some way, presenting tension and a
focal point to the scene.
4. VIEWPOINT
Our viewpoint has a great influence on
the composition of our photograph, an
d consequently it can seriously affect
the message that the shot conveys.
BACKGROUND
Go searching for a plain and
inconspicuous background and
comprise your shot so that it does not
distract or diminish from the focus.
5. DEPTH
Since photography is a two dimensional
medium, we have to select our arrangement
sensibly to convey the sense of depth that
was present in the real scene.
FRAMING
By placing these around the edge of the
composition you help to isolate the main
subject from the outside world. The result is a
more focused image which draws your eye
naturally to the main point of interest.
6. CROPPING
By cropping tight around the subject you
remove the background "noise", guaranteeing
the subject gets the viewer's complete
Attention.
EXPERIMENTATION
Experiment with your composition - you never
know whether an idea will work until you try it.
