A list of basic composition techniques used in photography.
Overview
Photo Composition Techniques
Photo composition techniques are methods for effectively positioning subjects and capturing visually appealing photographs. This is a systematic collection of composition techniques widely used by beginners to advanced photographers, including the rule of thirds, symmetrical composition, leading lines, central composition, and framing. By combining these techniques, more impressive and expressive photography becomes possible.
