For my photogram I was thinking of making a picture with items in my bag because it will be very creative, different and random.

Composition Techniques

1. Rules of third- The rule of thirds says that you should position the most important elements in your scene along these lines, or at the points where they intersect.1

2. Balancing Elements- Placing your main subject off centered can leave a void in the scene which can make it feel empty.2

3. Leading Lines- Our eyes are naturally drawn to lines, there are many different types straight, diagonal, curvy, zigzag, radial and more each enhance the photos composition.3

4. Symmetry and Patterns- Both naturally and man made they are very eye catching mostly when not expected they also introduce tension and focal point to the scene.4

5. Viewpoint- Take time to think about where to shoot from because the viewpoint has a massive affect on what the shot conveys.5

6. Background- Look for plain backgrounds so it won’t distract or take away from the subject.6

7. Depth- Because photos are 2 dimensional choose a composition that conveys the depth of foreground, middle ground and background. We naturally recognize these layers and mentally separate them out.7

8. Framing- By placing natural frames around the object at focus like trees, holes and archways it draws your eye to the main point of interest better.8

9. Cropping- Some objects are so small you need to crop to eliminate the background and focus on the smaller important object.9

10. Experimentation- Experimenting could giver you your best shot yet, you won’t know until you try.10
