This document discusses various composition techniques for photography. It defines composition as the placement or arrangement of visual elements in an image. It describes static composition as using mostly horizontal and vertical lines, while dynamic composition uses diagonal lines to create a sense of flow. The rule of thirds suggests placing points of interest along the intersections of a 3x3 grid overlaid on an image for improved composition. Maintaining tonal balance and balancing mass across the frame are also discussed.

3. Form vs. Content
Form: This is what holds our attention and give the
photo/objects in the photo you are looking at individuality.
Content: This is our understanding of the photo/object in
the photo.
So, they both have to do with the artwork in front of you,
yet, one is the attention and the other is the understanding.

5. Defining Composition
Composition is the placement or arrangement
of visual elements.

7. Static Composition
Static composition is when in a picture most of
it is lines. Either horizontal or vertical.

9. Dynamic Composition
Dynamic Composition gives excitement to
pictures with diagonal lines, they make the lines
seem natural, and able to flow through the
picture.

11. Objectives
The objectives are to make your pictures better
and improve your skills. All of these rules and
systems will make you better at taking pictures
and placing poses.

13. Single Center of Interest
A certain object that needs to be portrayed in
the picture.

15. Shifting the Center of Interest
Going from one object, to another in the same
picture.

17. Rule of Thirds
The rule of Thirds is a system that is if you
create a grid over the photo (3x3 squares) each
intersection represents where points of interest
should lay.

19. Maintaining Tonal Balance
The number of tones to describe the Dynamic
range.

21. Balance Mass
When you put one object on one side, you
always have to have another object less clear
on the other side.
