Photography composition guidelines can help take compelling pictures by lending them natural balance and drawing attention to important parts. These include using the rule of thirds to place subjects off-center, balancing elements, incorporating leading lines to guide the eye, considering symmetry and patterns, choosing an effective viewpoint, managing the background and depth, using framing and cropping, and experimenting with different techniques.
