Rule of Thirds

$100 — This classic grid divides the frame into nine equal parts to place subjects on intersections.
rule of thirds
$200 — To emphasize a dramatic sky, set the horizon along this line of the grid.
lower third
$300 — Portraits feel engaging when this facial feature sits on a thirds intersection.
the eyes
$400 — Centering the subject can work when the scene has this quality across the frame.
symmetry
$500 — Many cameras offer this overlay to visualize the thirds while composing.

Leading Lines

$100 — Roads, fences, and rivers can serve as these elements that guide the viewer’s eye.
leading lines
$200 — Lines that converge toward a distant point create this depth cue.
vanishing point
$300 — Avoid strong lines running out through these parts of the frame, which can pull attention away.
corners
$400 — A graceful winding road through a scene forms this classic type of leading line.
S-curve
$500 — Lines that radiate inward toward a subject create this composition.
radial composition

Framing

$100 — Doorways, arches, or branches around a subject create this compositional device.
framing
$200 — Framing works best when this clear visual distance remains between subject and edges.
separation
$300 — Placing an out-of-focus element in front of the lens to frame the subject uses this technique.
shoot-through
$400 — Using architectural elements to create a picture inside a picture embodies this idea.
frame within a frame
$500 — Keeping frame elements darker than the subject leverages this contrast principle.
tonal contrast

Negative Space

$100 — Leaving large empty areas around a subject uses this compositional concept.
negative space
$200 — Minimal compositions with ample empty area emphasize this single clear point.
focal point
$300 — Dominant negative space often creates this calm, uncluttered aesthetic.
minimalist
$400 — A tiny subject against vast emptiness can convey this emotional theme.
solitude
$500 — Balancing subject against emptiness relies on this sense beyond literal size.
visual weight

Perspective & Depth

$100 — Shooting from high above or low to the ground changes this viewpoint-based element.
perspective
$200 — Including foreground, midground, and background builds this three-dimensional feel.
depth
$300 — A wide-angle lens stretches space to create this intensified near–far effect.
exaggerated perspective
$400 — Blur from a wide aperture isolates a subject using this out-of-focus effect.
bokeh
$500 — Aligning distant objects behind a foreground subject so they appear stacked uses this trick.
forced perspective
