COMPOSITION RULES IN PHOTOGRAPHY

 1. The Rule Of Thirds 

The rule of thirds is a handy trick for taking great photos. When framing your shot, imagine a grid with two horizontal and two vertical lines dividing the image into thirds. Place your subject at one of the points where these lines intersect to create a more interesting and dynamic composition.

2. Leading lines

Leading lines are a compositional element in photography that draw the viewer's eye into the image. They can be any type of line that leads the viewer's gaze, such as roads, fences, or even the edges of buildings or mountains.

3.Diagonals

 In photography, diagonal refers to a line or direction that slants at an angle rather than being

straight up and down or side to side. It can be used to add visual interest and depth to an

image by creating a sense of movement or leading the viewer's eye through the composition.

4. Frame Within a Frame 

In photography, frame within a frame technique involves using an element within the composition to

enclose the main subject. This can add depth and interest to the image by creating a sense of layers and drawing the viewer's eye towards the subject.

5. Figure To Ground

In photography, figure to ground refers to the relationship between the subject and the background. This technique emphasizes the subject by creating a clear contrast between it and the background, making it stand out and catch the viewer's attention.

6.Fill The Frame

"Fill the frame" is a photography technique where the subject of the photo takes up the majority of the frame, leaving little or no negative space. This allows the subject to be the main focus of the photo, creating a stronger visual impact and drawing the viewer's attention to the details of the subject.

7. Center Dominant Eye

The "center dominant eye" is a term used in photography to describe the tendency of viewers to focus on the center of an image, specifically on the subject's dominant eye. This makes it important for photographers to position the subject's eye in the center of the frame or slightly off-center to create a more visually pleasing composition.

8.Patterns and Repetitions

In photography, patterns and repetitions refer to the repetition of visual elements such as shapes, colors, or lines in a composition. This technique can add visual interest, depth, and rhythm to an image.

9. Symmetry & Asymmetry

Symmetry in photography refers to the balanced arrangement of elements in an image, with identical or similar objects on either side of a central point. Asymmetry, on the other hand, refers to an unbalanced arrangement of elements in an image, with different objects or subjects on either side of the frame.

10. Golden Spiral 

The golden spiral uses this ratio to create a series of squares. The size and placement of the squares are based on the Fibonacci sequence. Then, working from the opposite corner of each square, you should be able to connect them, which will form a spiraling arc. While this sounds like a complex concept, it isn't.
