Composition of Photographs
Prepared by:
Laika Millete C. Mayor
BEED 3-1 DAY
Rule of Thirds• The rule of thirds is very
simple. You divide the frame
into 9 equal rectangles, 3
across and 3 down. Many
camera manufacturers have
actually included the capability
to display this grid in live view
mode.
BALANCING ELEMENTS
• You should balance the
"weight" of your subject by
including another object of
lesser importance to fill the
space.
LEADING LINES
• When we look at a photo our eye is naturally drawn along lines. By thinking about how you place lines in your composition, you can affect the way we view the image, pulling us into the picture, towards the subject, or on a journey "through" the scene.
A
BACKGROUND
• The human eye is excellent at distinguishing between different elements in a scene, whereas a camera has a tendency to flatten the foreground and background, and this can often ruin an otherwise great photo
Centered Composition and
Symmetry
• There are times when placing a
subject in the center of the frame
works really well.
• Symmetry scenes are perfect for
a centered composition. They
look really well in the square
frames too.
Foreground Interest and Depth
• Including some foreground
interest in a scene is a great
way of adding a sense od
depth to a scene. And it is one
of a number techniques to give
the scene a more 3D feel.
Frame within the Frame
• Frame within the Frame is another
way effective way of portraying depth
I a scene. Look for such as windows,
arches or overhanging branches to
frame the scene with. The frame does
not necessarily have to surround the
entire scene to be effective.
Simplicity and Minimalism
• Simplicity often means
taking photos with
uncomplicated backgrounds
and don’t distract from the
main subject.
Rule of Space
•The rule of the space relates to the direction of the subject in your photo.
