Photography
Rule of Thirds
Think about what element of your photo is most important and position it on intersections of the grid above. This “Rule of Thirds” is a fundamental technique of composition, providing focal point and balance.
Depth of Field
Set up your shot with a very specific foreground subject and background to convey a sense of depth. Focus on one of these elements to enhance this distance.
Close up
Fill your viewfinder with a (very) close-up subject. Find the distance that ensures your image is in focus by experimenting.
Motion
Capture motion in some way. Options include:
1. Find a subject in motion.
2. Move the camera with the subject.
3. Use a long exposure. Make sure to rest your phone or camera on a solid surface.
Pattern
Find a pattern and capture it.
There are patterns all around. On the walls, under our feet and in unexpected ways. Maybe it is similarity of objects repeated within a scene.
color
Fill your frame with color.
Maybe it is a single hue or an entire spectrum.
get centered
Center your subject or find symmetry in the scene. This is a powerful compositional tool that draws attention to your subject matter.
