Composition Definitions and Examples

LEADING LINES
Lines within an image that leads the eye to another point in the image, or occasionally, out of the image. Anything with a definite line can be a leading line.



RULES OF 3RD
An imaginary grid drawn across a photo area that breaks the image into nine equal squares. The best focal point for subjects is at the intersection of these lines with secondary emphasis being seen along the lines themselves.



FRAMING
A technique where items being photographed are used as internal frames.



REPITITION
Grabbing attention of your audience and draw them into the image. Repeating a shape throughout your photo gives instant composition.



CONTRAST
Determined by the difference between light and dark tones in a scene.
