The document discusses various photographic composition techniques including the rule of thirds, symmetry, lines, angles, framing, perspective, portraits using look space, active space, and foreground/background focus. The rule of thirds involves placing subjects off-center. Symmetry balances elements on both sides of an image. Different types of lines and angles can make photographs more interesting. Natural framing and unusual perspectives create depth. Portraits using look space allow interpretation of what subjects see. Active space shows movement direction. Adjusting aperture controls foreground/background focus.

1. RULE OF THIRDS
These portraits illustrate the rule
of thirds. With the main subject
being on one side of the
photograph.

2. RULE OF THIRDS
This landscape photograph
illustrates the rule of thirds. This
is because the main subject isn’t
central it is on one side of the
photograph.

3. SYMMETRY
This portrait illustrates vertical
symmetry as everything is
basically exactly the same on
either side.

4. HORIZONTAL, DIAGONAL AND VERTICAL
LINES
These photographs demonstrate the attention to
different types of lines.

5. INTERESTING ANGLES.
These shots demonstrate that taking photographs
from different angles other than eye level can
create a more interesting photograph.

6. NATURAL FRAMING
For these two shots I used natural framing. It
created a very natural and interesting looking
photograph.

7. PERSPECTIVE
This photograph creates a very flat looking image
as there is no depth to it at all.
Having taken the picture on a diagonal there is
much more depth as you can see what is along the
wall.

8. PORTRAITS USING LOOK SPACE
These shots illustrate ‘look-space’. Which allows us
to see past what is on the photograph and to create
our own interpretation at what the person is looking
at.

9. MOVING PEOPLE
This photograph demonstrates active
space which allows us to see where the
person is moving to.

10. FOREGROUND/BACKGROUND
This photograph demonstrates that by having a This photograph demonstrates that by having
large aperture and a short depth of field it a smaller aperture and a long depth of field it
allowing the main object in the foreground to be allows the picture to be clear from the
in focus and the background to be blury. foreground to the background.
