10 Composition Rules in
Photography
 1.RULES OF THIRDS
-you have to train yourself to split your
camera screen into a grid. Keep in mind the
key points of intersection and place
important elements along those lines for
visual appeal. 
 2. THE GOLDEN RATIO
-The Golden Ratio differentiates from the
rule of thirds by the balance of the
photograph. Here, the focus of the
photograph is more in the center (with
more details). 
 3. LEADING LINES
-Take advantage of the structures and the
lines of natural landscapes. Use them in
proportion to your subjects to lead the eye
into the picture.
 4. DIAGONALS
-One thing about diagonal lines that
differentiates it from other composition
techniques is that the lines help create
movement in the photograph even when
your subjects are still. 
 5. FRAME WITHIN A FRAME
-As you plan how to frame your shots,
consider that outside structures can serve
as natural frames. This can be things like
windows or doors so use them to your
advantage!
 6. FIGURE TO GROUND
-Try to focus on your subjects and make
them stand out by narrowing in on the
contrast between the subject and the
background. 
 7. FILL THE FRAME
-Get up close and personal with your
subjects. Have them fill in the frame so
that they are the focus and the dominant
feature of the photograph.
 8. CENTER DOMINANT EYE
-When photographing people, place the
dominant eye in the center of the
photograph. 
9. PATTERNS AND REPETITIONS
-There is a reason why we love patterns –
they are aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
 10. SYMMETRY AND
ASYMMETRY
-There are beauty, simplicity and a certain type of
elegance in a photograph that is perfectly
symmetrical. 
- The same goes for a slight variation of the style;
asymmetrical shots that include empty space for visual
interest
