8 rules of composition

Rule of thirds-        image divided equally(horizontal and vertical)into a grid 3X3 and the main subject if the image is placed on the eft or the right of the image.

Leading lines- used to draw the viewers into the photo and lead them through, showing a visual payoff.

Cropping- removing the unwanted parts of the image to focus the viewers on the main subject.

Framing- composing a picture, focusing the viewer on a main object of the photograph without cropping any excess areas out. Distance of the object in the image.

Depth- How much of your image is in focus,  for example is the main object in focus and the background blurred.

Background control- what the background looks like, eg pleasing pattern or a solid colour from the scene. 

Point of view- the position at which the camera is when taking the photos.

Horizontal line- a straight line that runs from the left side of the frame to the right.
