BASIC RULES FOR A
CORRECT PHOTOGRAPHY
A well composed
photograph is really a matter of opinion, but there are a few tricks that tend
to result in better pictures. That's what we're going to take a look at today.
Rule of thirds.
The rule of third is
the simplest rule of composition. All you have
to do is take your frame and overlay a grid of nine equal sections.
This means you must split the vertical space into
three parts and the horizontal space into three parts mentally. Is very
important that you place the subject at some point of intersection of the
lines. This photo illustrates it perfectly.
Perspective
Photographing your
subject straight-on is sometimes the right choice, but you have to create visual impact by moving the camera left, right,
above, and below. When you're beneath the subject it often makes them/it appear
more powerful to the viewer. Conversely, when you're above the subject it makes
them/it appear more diminutive. You can use this to an extreme for a powerful
impact, but it must be also a very
good subtle technique for portraits. Slight positioning above or below the
subject have to subconsciously imply
aggressiveness and passivity (respectively) without being too obvious..
Use Shapes and Lines to Draw the Eye to a Specific
Point
The viewer's eye doesn't magically end up looking at
one of the intersections in the rule of thirds grid, it's just more natural.
That said, you have to draw the eye elsewhere you can
accomplish that pretty easily by choosing where you place shapes and lines in
your photograph. A shape doesn't mean a literal, detail-less shape, but in the
sense that a building could serve as a rectangle. Roads often make nice lines
in landscapes. When you're composing your photograph, you must consider the shapes and lines and where they draw your eye. If
they're taking you out of the photograph or away from the primary subject,
you'll probably have to consider a
different composition. Let the roads lead where you want the eye to go.
