thirds, both horizontally
and vertically, essentially
dividing your image into
nine equal-shaped blocks.

Frame your subject at one

of the intersection points
instead of in the center of
the viewfinder.

depth to the Subject.
 What is included and excluded in an
individual shot.
 The photographer’s determination of
what the edges of a photograph will be.

Remove, or crop, the

elements you don't need
from your photos simply by
moving closer to your
subject, zooming in on your
subject, or moving your
subject within the viewfinder.
