1) Rule of Thirds
The rule of thirds in photography is a guideline that places the subject in the left or right third of an image, leaving the other two thirds more open.
2) Leading lines
Leading lines are lines within the image that lead the viewer's eye to a focal point, or create an illusion of distance.
3) Diagonal lines
Diagonal lines are naturally occurring lines in photos, that go in diagonal directions.
4) Framing
Framing is a compositional technique that uses natural elements in the scene to bring attention and highlight the main subject of a picture.
5) Figure to ground
Figure to ground is the relationship between the subject (figure) and the background (ground).
6) Fill the frame
Filling the frame is when you let your main subject dominate and leave little, if any, space around your subject.
7) Centre dominant eye
Placing the dominant eye in the centre of the photo will give the impression that the eyes follow you.
8) Patterns and repetition
Patterns are aesthetically pleasing, but are best when interrupted.
9) Symmetry
when both sides of a photo are the symmetrical (like a mirror)
