COMPOSITION  SUGGESTIONS    •  Center  of  interest:    –  A  photograph  should  have  a  strong  focal  point.    

•  Simplicity:    –  Keep  composiPons  simple,  avoiding  busy  .  

•  Subject  off  center:    –  Place  a  subject  slightly  off-­‐center.  

•  Horizon  lines:    –  Don’t  place  the  horizon  line,  or  any  strong  verPcal  or  horizontal  lines,  right  in  the  middle  of  a  picture.  

•  Leading  lines:    –  If  a  scene  has  strong  lines,  make  sure  the  lines  lead  the  eye  into  the  frame  rather  than  out  of  it.

•  Foreground  objects:    –  An  interesPng  object  in  the  foreground  adds  depth.  

•  Vary  angles:    –  For  a  dramaPc  effect,  take  some  photos  from  a  birds-­‐eye  (looking  down)  or  worms-­‐eyes  view  (looking  up).  

•  Framing:    –  Framing  a  subject  by  zooming  or  moving  .  

•  SilhoueGes:    –  Subject  made  dark  by  photographing  it  against  a  light  background  (back  lighPng).  

•  ReflecJons:    –  Adds  an  interesPng,  somePmes  abstract,  look  to  a  photo.
