QUESTIONS Why should you be clear about the subject? Focusing on the subject is essential in creating the perfect photograph. Having unnecessary empty space can make the photo look incomplete or awkward. However it is sometimes acceptable to include empty space if it adds to the effect of the picture. Why do you compose the entire frame, not just the subject? Composing the entire frame is important because if there is an element of the photo in the background that does that match or agree with the overall theme and composition of the photo, it can be very distracting. Why use different camera angles? Using different camera angles can have a significant affect on the photograph. They can make the photo more dramatic or can fool the eyes. Different angles can make photos outstanding.
Questions Why should you strive for balance? Balance shows harmony in photos; this is a very important element. Some examples of balance are between colors, themes, textures and shapes. Why use lines when composing your composition? Different lines have different affects that make a photo appear more interesting. For example: Vertical lines show height and power. Horizontal lines show width. Diagonal lines dramatize and curved lines have a calming affect.
