9 Tips on Composition

Place the Important element(s) of the scene along one or more of the lines or where the lines intersect.

Place the main subject in the centre of the frame.

Foreground interest in a scene is a great way of adding a sense of depth to the scene.

A doorway, archway, or natural feature like an overhanging tree branch can create a framing effect.

Patterns can lead the eye into an image and create interesting relationships between objects.

Leaving little or no space around it can be very effective in certain situations.

An uncomplicated image is always effective, giving clear focus on the main subject.

This can give the subject more focus too.

Take lots of photographs and play with colour, lines, shapes, perspective and lighting
