🎨 Composition Rules

Learn the rules of composition to create visually striking images

Rule of Thirds

Divide your frame into a 3x3 grid. Place important elements along these lines or at their intersections for more balanced, engaging compositions.

Leading Lines

Use lines in your scene to guide the viewer's eye toward your subject. Roads, pathways, fences, and architectural elements work great.

Framing

Use natural or architectural frames (windows, doorways, trees) to draw attention to your subject and add depth.

Symmetry and Patterns

Symmetrical compositions create balance and harmony. Breaking patterns can create visual interest.

Negative Space

Don't fill every inch of your frame. Negative space gives your subject room to breathe and emphasizes the main element.
