10 rules of composition

1. Rule of thirds



With rule of thirds you have a imaginary grid then keep the main object you are looking at out of the middle square.

2. Balancing elements


With balancing elements you have to have an object in fount of the main object.


3. Leading lines


Your eyes follow the path and give you a journey through the image.


4. Symmetry and patterns


Making sure you have more things to look at then only one thing. 


5. Viewpoint


Having a direction that you are looking. 


6. Background

 

Having a empty background gives the eye a direct spot to look at and focus on. 


7. Depth 


Pictures are taken in a 2D landscape and depth helps show the actual size and distance. 


8. Framing 


Giving the picture a border then a clear path to the main object. 


9. Cropping


Cropping helps deal with "clutter" and guide you to the main object. 

10. Experimentation 


You never know if the picture is going to be awesome unless you take it.
