The document discusses 6 photographic compositional rules: 1) Simplicity - use uncomplicated backgrounds that do not distract from subjects, 2) Rule of Thirds - imagine the frame divided into thirds and place subjects at the intersections, 3) Lines - lines can draw attention so position the camera to showcase important lines, 4) Balance - carefully position subjects and camera to create a well-balanced photograph, 5) Framing - use foreground objects to frame and add depth to the center of interest, 6) Avoiding Mergers - look for plain backgrounds to avoid subjects merging with their surroundings.
