take time to study and learn their art, learning exactly what is required to
take an eye-catching photo.”

 *ELEMENTS OF PHOTOGRAPHY
There are seven elements of photography that
break down each of the things a true artist
should focus on, and they are:
1. Line,
2. Shape,
3. Form,
4. Texture,
5. Pattern,
6. Color and
7. Space.
Each brings its own unique quality to a
picture.

Often seen when using the rule of thirds
 The Rule of Thirds
The best way to illustrate one of the most popular photography composition techniques, the
rule of thirds, is to put a nine-square grid over a photo. You would break an image into thirds
both horizontally and vertically, arriving at nine segments total. If you place the most

interesting element of your photos along one of those lines, your photo will naturally be well-
composed, based on the general rules of form photography.
