Rule of thirds• Off centre the object to the side,
you have to imagine the image is split up into 9 sections by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines, and that important subject should be placed along these lines or their cross roads.
• If you put the main subject in the middle of your picture, it is seen as ‘static’ because once your eye is drawn to the middle there is no where else for it to go.
Framing• Framing is a technique used to
bring the focus to the subject• It makes the subject of your
image standout more because it is framed
• The frame can either be natural or a physical object. E.g.: Window, trees, door frames
Leading Lines• Leading line is when your
eyes are drawn to the front of the image to the back.
• They are also used to focus on a focal point
Balancing Elements• You should balance the
weight of your image subject of a lesser importance to fill the space.
Symmetry & Patterns• Making the frame of your
subject symmetrical mirror images (strong vocal point)
Depth of Field• The distance of the image
strong definition focus is central. Shallow depth of field is when not a lot is in foucus in the picture, your eyes are drawn to the focused bit first then follows the rest of the picture
