A photo can be divided into thirds horizontally and vertically. When you compose your photo place your subjects so they line up along one of the thirds of your frame.
Rule of Thirds
It involves looking for frames for your subject. A frame could be made of architectural elements, natural elements or even light.
Framing
It is often used in architectural photography. It’s a bit easier to find in man-made structures, though it does exist in nature.
Symmetry and Reflection
This guides your viewer’s eye through the image to your subject
Leading Lines
Be mindful not to cut off your subject’s arms, legs, fingers, toes, or ears when shooting. As a rule of thumb, don’t crop your photos at a joint – at the elbow, ankle, or wrist. If one of
your subject’s limbs is outside the edge of your frame, make sure you adjust the crop so it’s not on a joint.
Cropping
When you photograph a scene, vary your perspective to add interest. It could be worm’s view, man’s view, or bird’s eye view. You may also consider close-up, mid, or wide shot for zooming in the subject.
