Compositional Skills

Dramatic perspective


Dramatic perspective is when you use a certain angle/ perspective, for example a low angle, to give the object a sense of power and exaggerate its size.



Use of lines


Use of lines includes leading lines and converging lines. Leading lines are lines which lead you into the picture and help you to focus on more than one object. An example of converging lines is when a shot of a road is taken, the edges of the rod appear to go into a point as they gain distance from the camera.



Framing


Framing is when you use a natural frame in the image like a window to frame something. An example of this is f you were to photograph a window, on the other side of which is a person.



Rule of thirds


Images are split into 9 segments, and you would place a point of interest onto an intersection of the 9 segments. his is known as the rule of thirds.



Moving i close


Moving in close is when you take an extreme close up photo of something in order to show the amount of detail on the object.


Balance/symmetry


Balance is when two sides of a photo have mirrored imagery, and are balanced on either side. This can be horizontal or vertical.
