Rules of Composition
1) Rule of Thirds
- Imagine the image is divided into 9 equal spaces, split by 2 vertical and 2 horizontal lines.
- Always place subjects along the lines
- Center the horizon in the frame
2) Balance
- Have the photo off-centered to bring out the background more and to balance the photo.
3) Lines
- Make some type of line out of a subject
- Eyes are more prown to seeing lines
4) Symmetery and Patterns
-you can take the photo and cut it in half, it will basically be the same on both sides
5) Point of View (POV)
- Showing were you are shooting from
- A bugs-eyeview will make things look biggger (low angle)
- Birds eye view will make the subject look smaller (high angle)
6) Background/ Foreground
- the area or scenery behind the main object of contemplation, especially when perceived as a framework for it.
7) Depth
-the distance from the top or surface of something to its bottom.
- Trying to make the photo look 3D
8) Framing
- Placing subjects to were you want peole to be looking at
9) Cropping
- GET CLOSER
- somethings look better taken closer
10) Break the Rules
- you don't have to follow these rules if you do it with intention.
