Five easy tips to help you take more interesting
photo compositions
Face into the composition to create a sight line that keeps the viewer involved. “Walk” into the photograph visually.
Although the photo, above, is “prettier”, the composition
suffers from the position of the child – she is leaving the frame.
If she had been on the left side of the setting sun, it would have
been a much better shot.
Up close and personal – don’t be afraid to crop to get a better shot.
Picturing an imaginary nine-space grid is a tried-and-true way of improving the composition – some cameras include this as a
framing aid
Use curves, triangles and odd numbers instead of straight lines and even numbers.
Look at it from a different perspective . . . . .and use objects as “frames”
