Leading Lines Leading Lines are meant to lure the person deeper in to the picture or an important subject. Weather the

lines straight, curved or any other way they are great at encouraging interest to the picture. Things such as roads and fences, however there are endless things

that could be used.

Keeping it simpleThe method of taking a simple photo is to keep the information

simple. If the main subject is up close in the picture then the background should be very simple to avoid directions when some

else is looking at the picture.

Try to keep uninteresting objects out of the frame that may cause a distraction to the main subject, however any lines or any other

objects may distract the persons eye so it’s best to avoid this as much as possible.

Rule of ThirdsThe method of R.O.T is that the frame is divided into three both vertical and horizontal. When the horizontal and vertical lines

intersected it makes a more suitable place for the parts that more important in your picture.

With the row of three it helps the picture achieve to be more interesting besides keeping it in the center, so avoiding the center

will make the picture more interesting.

FramingThe framing focuses on one thing when taking a picture and

that is something that makes the frame in a picture. When using framing it is the tactic by using your natural

surroundings such as windows, doors etc., to add more meaning to a subject.

During the course of framing as the main subject it is in your own doing that need to very careful that you shouldn’t focus on

one part of your framing subject.
