Composition Strat

Snapshot= a quick picture, often taken spontaneously, that captures a moment
photograph= an image taken with care and thought

Rule of Thirds- imaginary lines dividing your camera into thirds, both horizontally and vertically

• place important elements where these lines intersect
• place horizon line at the top or bottom horizontal divider
• fill up your frame for a close up image
• create leading lines of the composition to lead the viewer's eye through the photo

Point of view= change the way your subject is perceived by changing the camera position

• if you want an image to seem tall, compose so the shot is upward
• small shoot downward
• keep your background simple fool
• mood is affected by the background
• chaotic= bad bad bad
• original point of view adds interest
