Rule of Thirds

The rule of thirds says that you should position the most important elements in your scene along lines that in total are 9 (3×3), or at the points where they intersect.

Balancing Elements

Balancing the weight within your photo can create a less of an empty feeling.

Leading Lines 

 

Lines can be used to enhance your photos. They naturally attract the eye and it can help you attract your main subject.

Symmetry and Patterns

 

It makes for a very eye-catching composition. They can also break the symmetry or pattern in some way, introducing tension and a focal point.

Viewpoint

It can greatly affect the message of your picture. Rather than shooting at just eye level, taking photos from above or grounds, from the side, and so on, it can increase the attraction of your photo.

Background

A plain and less distracted of a background can help focus on your subject in a better manner as compared to using a busy background. A busy background can really flatten out your pictures if they are not used correctly.

Depth

 

You can create depth in a photo by including objects in the foreground, middle ground and background. Overlapping can also help obscure one object to another.

Framing

By placing natural objects around your picture, it can help create a framing effect. It will help isolate the subject from the outside world.

Cropping

Cropping your photos will help reduce heavy surroundings. You can eliminate background “Noises” by focusing in on your subjects.

Experimentation 

With experimenting, we can try multiple things with taking more than one photo. We can try things such as different viewpoints and then you get to chose the best picture. Overall, experimentation can help you find a picture you like best of particularly the same object.
