10 Composition Tips
Imagining 9 equal segments, 2 vertical, 2 horizontal, will balance and interest your photo.
Using rule of thirds, placing your subject off to the side creates a more interesting image. But the background could feel empty, so make sure to add a lesser subject to fill the space.
Leading Lines:
Thinking of how you place lines in your image could affect how you view it, pulling you into the picture towards the subject, or feels like going on a journey. Using those lines enhances the images composition.
Ways to draw attention would be using tension and a focal point to the particular scene.
Viewpoint:
The viewpoint has a massive impact of the composition. Instead of shooting at eye levels, shoot the photo at different heights and levels like higher, ground level, a side view, etc.
Background:
Look for a background that is plain before you shoot your photo so there aren’t any distractions from the main subject.
Depth:
Include objects in the foreground, middle ground, and background. Overlapping is another composition technique.
Framing:
Natural frames such as archways, trees, and holes can be used around the edges of the composition to isolate the main subject from everything else. It draws the eye to the main subject naturally.
Cropping:
By cropping tightly, it eliminates the business in the background and focuses on the main subject.
You can fire many shots to see if there are interesting and pretty images and delete unwanted ones later.
