The document discusses different photography composition techniques including leading lines, framing, and point of view. Leading lines use angles and edges to guide the eye to the subject. Framing uses physical objects to separate the subject from other elements. Photographers should also consider moving themselves, their camera, or objects to improve composition angles, as well as applying the rule of thirds. The goal is to isolate the subject and draw the viewer's eye through lighting, lines and framing.

THE “FISHING TECHNIQUE”
“I finished work after a late night at
work. I saw this interesting
sculpture figure and saw an arrow
pointing straight to an empty spot.
I thought to myself: ‘How perfect it
would be if I could get someone to
walk to that spot!’”
