Composition (Photography)

What makes a good photograph
-Good subject
-Good lighting
-Good compositions

Rule of thirds: 
-Center of interest: A photograph should have a strong focal point. Determine what it is before composing your photo
-Simplicity: keep compositions simple, avoiding busy background that distracts from a subject
-Subject off center: place a subject slightly off-centre rather than in the middle of a photo

Leading lines:
-If a scene has strong lines, make sure the lines lead the eye into the frame rather than out of it. The lines should lead to the main point of interest.

Viewpoint/angles:
-Vary angles: shoot at varying angles to capture a subject from a different viewpoint. move the camera higher or lower than you usually do. for dramatic effect, take some photos from a birds-eye (looking down) or worms-eye view (looking up). 

Lighting:
-Dramatic lighting: adds interest to a photo.
-Silhouettes: subject made dark by photographing it against a light background (back lighting). 
-Golden hour

Framing:
-Framing a subject by zooming or moving closer draws attention to it. 

Symmetry: 
-An identical or near-identical image of its other half. use of symmetry often provides a formal balance.
