Leading Lines - Leading lines are photo elements that will draw the viewers eye into the photo (and keep it there). Plus, they direct attention to the main subject in the photo and make it "read" the way you envisioned it.
Diagonal Lines - Diagonal lines in a photo are powerful! If you want to denote power and dynamism in your photos, use diagonal lines.
The Rule Of Thirds - The old standby…the rule of thirds is probably the most well known compositional rule. We cover it to be complete. Who knows, maybe this is the first photo book you've read!
And more…And more…And more…
