Leading lines

Leading lines are one of the most effective and under-utilised compositional tools available to photographers. They’re used to draw a viewers attention to a specific part of the frame, whether it’s a person, or a vanishing point in the background of the frame.Our eyes are naturally drawn along lines and paths in photos, as they tend to make us feel as if we’re standing within the photo itself.It’s important to understand how to use leading lines effectively, because if they’re used incorrectly, they will be more detrimental than anything.

For example in this photo the path over the rocks leads our attention to the two people standing on the top of the hill
