This document discusses several photography composition techniques including the rule of thirds, framing, cropping, using lines, creating depth, and incorporating symmetry and patterns. It advises photographers to place important elements along the lines that divide the frame into thirds or at their intersections. Framing helps draw attention to the main subject while cropping allows small objects to be the focal point. Lines and overlapping elements can create a sense of depth or lead the eye through a scene. Symmetry and patterns create visually appealing images when used properly.

2. Rule of Thirds
 Imagine that your photograph is divided
into nine equal squares
 Most important elements in the photo
should run along these lines
 Or be at where the points intersect

3. Framing
 Naturally attracts the eye to the center
 Helps to draw attention to the main
object
 Focuses image

4. Cropping
 Allow small object to be focal point
 Reduces things in the background
 Makes sure the object gets the viewer’s
full attention

5. Lines
 Naturally draws the eyes along the lines
 Creates a “journey” through a scene

6. Depth
 Depth, is created in a photo by
 Having objects in the Foreground, Middle
Ground and Background
 Having things overlap in the photo which
creates layers

7. Symmetry and Patterns
 Creates a visually appealing image
 Breaking a pattern can draw attention
