5 KEY POINTS ON PHOTOGRAPHY

Position the subject off Centre

• Your subject shouldn't be in the centre of the frame, but rather
• positioned off centre- to the left, right, up or down.
• You can also place your subject on any of intersection points
• or along one of the four lines, like the flower in this photo

BALANCE THE SUBJECT

• "Balancing the subject" just means you put a secondary
• subject (something of less importance) in the photo to
• balance out the look of it, for example in this photo
• the spider has more importance than the tree.

DON'T CENTRE THE HORIZON

• When shooting scenes that involve the horizon don't
• place the horizon in the dead centre. This visually
• cuts the photo in half and therefore wouldn't look
• as engaging. In this photo I used the rule of thirds
• to position the horizon just above the middle.

MAKE IT SYMMETRIC

• There are a few ways to make your photo
• symmetric. You might take photo on which both
• sides of your photo are the same. Or you
• Take a photo of something that itself is symmetrical.

BREAK SYMMETRY

• For this technique you are doing the opposite of
• making symmetry. Instead you're trying to break it.
• You can do this by either making one side of the photo
• non symmetrical or in my example break symmetry
• by only shooting part of it in the frame.
