PHOTOGRAPHY COMPOSITION

Composition

There are no rules in photography but composition helps make photos better

Following are some examples of composition:

Symmetry and PatternsI picked these pictures because I thought they looked somewhat the

same on both sides and there were some distinct patters in the photos.

Symmetry and Patterns

Balancing ElementsI picked these pictures because there was something off centre, but that didn’t make

the rest of the picture boring or anything. The pictures seemed pretty balanced.

Balancing Elements

Leading LinesI picked these pictures because I noticed many lines in all of

them, and yes, they are leading.

Leading Lines

ViewpointI chose these pictures because they showed different

angles and viewpoints that someone might be looking from.

Viewpoint

BackgroundI chose these pictures because they showed the area of where I took the picture and what the place looked like.

Background

DepthI chose these photos because they showed the depth of

something, whether it be a line of cars or a school hallway.

Depth

FramingI chose these photos because in all of them, there was something in a section of the picture that framed the picture and made it look better than it would have been on

it’s own.

Framing

CroppingI chose these pictures because they had a pretty simple

background but something in that background stood out.

Cropping

ExperimentationI chose these pictures because well... They were

experiments.

Experimentation

Rule of ThirdsI chose these pictures because about a third (or maybe a little less) has the main focus and points of interest of the

pictures.
