COMPOSITION F. Kodis with some help
Rule of Thirds ASYMMETRICAL BALANCE: Whether consciously or not, compositions are often conceived away from the center of the frame, using the “rule of thirds.” Photo by W. Eugene Smith
SYMMETRY Centering the subject Photo by Robert Frank
CURVED LINES are one of elements of composition most pleasing to the eye, giving a photograph a feeling a movement . . . Photo by Henri Cartier-Bresson
ANGLE, AND DIAGONAL LINES: Choosing unusual angles can result in interesting perspectives on a subject. The use of diagonal lines can add tension, and a sense of directionality. Photo by Bruce Davidson
A frame serves numerous purposes: Used correctly, framing can draw the eye of the viewer of an interest to a particular part of the scene.
Framing can add context to a shot. Without the window frame this photo of the woman would tell you less. What information do we know about her from the frame?
Framing can bring a sense of organization or containment to an image.
