Photo Composition

snapshot:
-not planned out
-keeping a memory
-a quick shot, often spontaneous, taken to record a moment in time


photo:
-an image taken with care and thought


rules of composition:

Rule of Thirds- imaginary lines drawn dividing the frame of your camera into thirds, both horizontally and vertically; place important subject where these lines intersect; place horizon line at the top or bottom divider; fill entire frame with close up image.

Leading Lines- use the lines created within the foreground or background of the composition to lead the viewer's eye through the photo; use lines to draw attention to a certain point in the image;

Point of View- change the way your subject is perceived by changing the camera position

Simplicity- keep your background simple and clear of clutter
