The document provides tips for composing photographs based on established composition rules. It recommends keeping images simple with a single clear subject and uncluttered background. For proper placement of the subject, it advises following the rule of thirds by positioning the subject off-center along imaginary lines that divide the frame into thirds. Framing involves using background elements to create borders around the subject. Balance is created by contrasting light and dark areas. Leading lines guide the viewer's eyes toward the main subject.

The document provides 4 rules of composition for photography: keep images simple without clutter and focused on the main object; follow the rule of thirds by placing the main object off-center rather than in the center of the frame; balance lighting and shadows to make images appear more three-dimensional; and use leading lines in the background to guide the viewer's eyes to the most important part of the photo.
The rules of composition
The Rules Of Composition outlines key principles for taking good photographs: simplicity avoids clutter and clearly identifies the main subject; the rule of thirds places the subject off-center for more interest and allows space ahead of moving objects; balance creates contrast by evenly distributing light and shadow across halves of the image; framing uses background elements to add depth; and lines engage viewers by pointing them toward the focus while diagonals create more visual interest.

Other topics covered include format, lines, patterns, and the five main rules of composition. The document serves to illustrate fundamental photographic concepts through real photo examples.
Photography rules powerpoint
The document discusses several rules and techniques of photography including the rule of thirds, framing, leading lines, balancing elements, symmetry and patterns, and depth of field. The rule of thirds involves placing the subject off-center to create more interest. Framing uses natural or physical frames to focus on the subject. Leading lines direct the viewer's attention. Balancing elements avoids empty spaces by adding secondary subjects. Symmetry and patterns can create striking compositions when not overused. Depth of field makes the subject stand out by blurring the background.

The document discusses several rules and techniques for photography including the rule of thirds, framing, leading lines, balancing elements, symmetry and patterns, and depth of field. The rule of thirds involves dividing the photo into thirds and placing the subject on one of the lines. Framing uses natural or created images to frame the photo subject. Leading lines lead the eye to something in the background. Balancing elements balances a clear focus with something less important in the background. Symmetry and patterns use symmetrical or repeated graphic elements. Depth of field focuses only on the subject, blurring the rest of the photo.
Composition and framing
This document discusses the composition and framing techniques used in several photos. It explains that one photo uses the rule of thirds to focus on a boy, with negative space surrounding him. Another is taken from a bird's eye view perspective looking down on a boy on a sofa. While another considers both the rule of thirds and depth of field, but doesn't fully follow the rule of thirds and has too many focus points. It concludes that using a camera grid would help better apply the rule of thirds.
Rule of thirds
The rule of thirds is a compositional guideline for arranging elements in an image so that points of interest are aligned with the intersecting points of an imaginary three-by-three grid overlaying the frame. Placing the subject on these points or lines rather than at the center of the image creates more balanced and appealing photographs according to the rule. Photographers should consider the points of interest in their shot and intentionally position them along the rule of thirds lines or intersecting points for improved composition.
Rule of thirds
The rule of thirds is a photographic composition technique where an image is divided into thirds both vertically and horizontally, forming nine equal squares. Placing subjects or points of interest along these lines or their intersections creates a more balanced and appealing image compared to centering the subject in the middle, guiding the viewer's eyes throughout the photo in a more engaging way. Photographers should consider the points of interest in their shot and intentionally position them following the rule of thirds to improve image composition.

Inspiration For Photo Joinery
Cubism was an early 20th century avant-garde art movement co-founded by Spanish painter Pablo Picasso and French painter Georges Braque. They revolutionized European painting by breaking objects into geometric fragments and reassembling them from multiple perspectives. Cubist works show subjects from several different viewpoints, with surfaces intersecting at random angles to remove a coherent sense of depth. The movement spread from its origins in France between 1907-1919.

The document discusses five rules of photographic composition: the rule of thirds, balance, simplicity, leading lines, and framing. The rule of thirds involves dividing the frame into thirds and placing the subject off-center. Balance ensures no area of the frame is weighted too heavily. Simplicity keeps the image clear by avoiding clutter. Leading lines guide the eye through the frame. Framing uses natural or artificial borders to enhance the subject. Examples are provided illustrating each rule.
Photography rules
The document discusses several rules of photography including the rule of thirds, framing, leading lines, balancing elements, symmetry and patterns, and depth of field. The rule of thirds involves placing the subject off-center at the intersection points of an imaginary three-by-three grid over the photo. Framing uses natural or man-made frames to focus on the subject. Leading lines guide the eye through the photo from foreground to background. Balancing elements places the main subject off-center and adds another object to fill empty space. Symmetry creates a strong focal point with mirrored or balanced images. Depth of field controls what is in or out of focus to direct attention.
Experiments evidence template
1. The document discusses several experimental photography techniques that the author explored, including shutter speed, reflection, photomontage, and focus. For shutter speed, the author found that timing is important to capture movement and that colors and lights blur better than other subjects. With reflection photography, ripples in water and curved surfaces can distort reflections. Photomontage involves combining close-up photos into a collage, while poor focus can soften edges and remove unwanted details from images.
2. Across the different techniques, key lessons were that timing is important to capture movement, reflective surfaces and ripples can impact reflections, photomontage works best with many small photos, and slight blurring can soft

Photography rules powerp
The document discusses several rules and techniques of photography including:
- The rule of thirds, which divides photos into thirds both vertically and horizontally to place important elements along those lines for a more balanced composition.
- Framing, which uses elements like doorways or archways to frame the subject and focus the viewer's attention.
- Leading lines, which are lines in the image that guide the eye to another point or out of the frame, like fences or shorelines.
- Balancing elements to balance the weight of the main subject with other lesser objects.
- Depth of field, which is the area of sharp focus around the point of focus, and can be used to
Photography Composition Basics
The document discusses several photography composition techniques including the rule of thirds, leading lines, symmetry and patterns, depth of field, framing, and viewpoint. The rule of thirds involves dividing an image into thirds both horizontally and vertically and positioning key elements of the photo along those lines. Leading lines draw the eye through a photo along lines in the composition. Symmetry and patterns can make eye-catching photos when used or broken intentionally. Depth of field and overlapping objects create a sense of depth in two-dimensional photos. Framing isolates the subject using natural frames. Viewpoint, such as bird's eye or worm's eye views, impacts the message conveyed.
Test shots
This document discusses different types of shots taken by the author to experiment with framing and lighting for images in a magazine. It includes examples of two shots, long shots, medium close ups, close ups, posed shots, group shots, and examples of bad framing. Taking these test shots helped the author understand which types of images would work well for a magazine cover versus interior pages. The experimentation also helped them learn about the importance of lighting and proper framing in producing high quality images.
Compositioon rules
The document provides guidance on composition, lighting, and framing techniques for photography. It discusses the Rule of Thirds for optimally placing subjects in an image. The Diagonal Rule recommends placing important elements along diagonal lines that intersect the image. Regarding lighting, front lighting flatters details but lacks depth, while side lighting creates shadows and dimension. Back lighting silhouettes subjects, and diffuse lighting softens harsh light. Framing techniques suggest using objects like branches or windows to direct the viewer's eye to the subject within the frame. Depth of field and sensor placement should also be considered for framing.

Depth of field and lighting sensors should be focused on the main subject within the frame.
Rules of photography
The document discusses several photographic composition techniques:
1) The rule of thirds suggests dividing an image into thirds both horizontally and vertically and placing subjects or focal points along the lines or intersections to create a more natural-looking image.
2) Framing uses elements within a scene to frame and draw attention to the main subject. Leading lines also guide the viewer's eye towards the subject.
3) Balancing elements suggests including a secondary, less important object to balance the composition and weight of the main subject. Symmetry and patterns can also create visual balance and attract the viewer.
4) Depth of field refers to the distance in front of and behind the focal plane that appears acceptably

Magazine Double Page Spread
Three pigs built houses after leaving their mother, but a wolf killed the first two pigs by going to their houses. However, the third pig was clever and outsmarted the wolf, causing it to fall down the chimney into boiling water. This killed the wolf but left the third pig alone without his brothers.
Broadsheet Front Page
A confrontation between pigs and a wolf resulted in 3 deaths. A pig's mother lost two sons in the confrontation. While the wolf is now dead, it remains to be seen if the third pig will face charges for its role in the wolf's death.
Analysis Of Newspaper Front Pages And Magazine Double Page Spreads
The document discusses different styles of newspaper front pages and magazine double page spreads. It describes how tabloid newspapers use bold headlines, large images with little text, and colorful fonts to grab attention. Broadsheet newspapers contain more text with simple fonts and less color. The author prefers the tabloid style for its ability to draw readers in. Magazine styles analyzed include NME, which uses a large central image and smaller supplemental photos, and ETC, which employs multiple small images. The author chooses the NME approach because the large central photo is eye-catching and draws the viewer in.
Cowes High School
This document contains summaries of various photos representing different aspects of Cowes High School from 2010. It discusses photos depicting the math and English departments, as well as photos of art rooms, students, buildings, and the school location. For most photos, it identifies the subject and analyzes which compositional rule the photo follows, such as balance, leading lines, rule of thirds, or simplicity.
Analyzing My Photos
The document discusses photos that have worked well, could be improved, and one that is a disaster. Photos that worked well used lines to lead the viewer to the subject and were uncluttered. Photos that could be improved included one that was too cluttered and would benefit from cropping, one where centering the subject could be improved by moving them off center, and one where changing the angle of trees would make it more interesting. The disaster photo was unbalanced with similar colors and an odd angle that made the building look slanted.

Rules of composition
- 1. Rules Of Composition By Matt Barber
- 2. Keep the picture simple focus in on one subject and don’t have a cluttered background. In this picture I’ve have done a close up of a bin, which in this case is the subject and there is little going on in the background Simplicity
- 3. When taking a picture you need to imagine that the image is split into thirds across and down. When taking the image you should position the subject so it’s not in the centre third as this makes the image a bit boring, but if you position the subject so it is along one of the lines. In this picture the subject is the tree but its split off into two and they go off to the left and the right of the centre and go along the lines. Rule Of Thirds
- 4. Framing is when you use things in the background to frame the subject of the picture. For example in this picture the trees act as a frame, they frame the building behind them. Also in this picture the trees act as an entrance in to the picture . Framing
- 5. Balance is when you’re taking a picture you need to make sure that the image will be balanced you can do this by have light and dark contrast in the picture for example if the subject is light then you could have a dark background. In this picture I’ve shown balance by having the tree that is quite dark in the foreground but having the bright blue sky and the white of the clouds in the background shining through the tree. Balance
- 6. Leading Lines is where you use lines in the photo to lead to the subject, so that your eyes automatically follow the lines to the main subject in the photo, so you know what you’re supposed to look at. In this photo the lines on the windows lead you towards the little building Leading Lines
