Each section explains how to position key elements for immediate visual tension or impact, including balancing subject placement with frame geometry, lens choice, and spatial cues like paths and steps through landscapes.

ORIGIN  \nTHIS STORYTELLING COMPOSITIONAL TOOL IS REALLY USEFUL FOR CREATING SCENES THAT HOLD PEOPLES ATTENTION  \nRULE OF THIRDS  \nRULE OF THIRDS IS OFTEN USED TO PLACE THE HORIZON LINE IN PHOTO. THE CROSSING POINTS ARE OFTEN THE LOCATION PEOPLE PLACE THEIR SUBJECT.  \nIN THIS PHOTO ON THE LEFT YOU SEETHE HORIZON ON THE HORIZONTAL LINE AND THE STEPS ROUGHLY ON 3 OF THE CROSSING POINTS OF THE HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL LINES.  \nTHIS WORKS WELL AND IS CONVENTIONAL BUT.......  \nBREAKING THE RULE OF THIRDS  \nIN THIS EXAMPLE THE TOP OF THE WATERFALL IS ON THE HORIZON LINE.  \nINSTEAD OF TRYING TO FORCE THE LONE TREE ONTO THE CROSSING POINT OF THE HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL LINES, I INTENTIONALLY BROKE THE RULE OF THIRDS TO CREATE VISUAL TENSION  \nLESSON: THE TREE BREAKS THE COMPOSITIONAL RULE OF THIRDS THAT THEREST OF THE IMAGE COMPLIES WITH, THEREBY EMPHASISING THE TREE.  \nATTENTION GRABBING COMPOSITION  \nPLACING YOUR SUBJECT IN THE MIDDLE, RATHER THAN ON THE RULE OF THIRDS, INTRODUCES A DIRECTNESS THAT CAN’T BE IGNORED.  \nTHINK OF A RECTANGLE IN THE CENTER OF YOUR ORIGINAL IMAGE. THEN YOU CAN PLACE YOUR MAIN SUBJECT WITHIN THIS.  \nIT’S OK IF YOUR SUBJECT SPILLS OUT OF THE BOX.  \nLESSON: CENTRAL COMPOSITION CREATES INSTANT IMPACT  \nFOREGROUND EMPHASIS  \nEMPHASISE THE FOREGROUND BY USING A WIDE LENS. PUT THE FOREGROUND NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE FRAME TO ENLARGE IT.  \nTHIS CREATES A STRONG SENSE OF BALANCE IN AN IMAGE.  \nLESSON: EMPHASISE THE FOREGROUND TO CREATE A FEELING OF BALANCE AND DEPTH.  \nORIGIN  \nTHE IDEA OF ORIGIN IS TO SUGGEST TO THE VIEWER A PLACE FROM WHERE WE HAVE COME.  \nON THE LEFT WE SEE THE HOUSE, THE ORIGIN POINT.  \nTHE IMAGE BELOW SHOWS THE PATH TO THE WHITE HOUSE, IT ALSO SHOWS THE STEPS LEADING THROUGH THE TREES TO THE MOUNTAINS.  \nLESSON: IMAGES SHOWING ORIGIN AND DESTINATION CAPTURE THE VIEWERS IMAGINATION, THEY ARE IMAGES THAT ARE LOOKED AT FOR A LONG TIME.  \nI HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS SHORT EBOOK ON COMPOSITION.  \nCHECK OUT MY WEBSITE FOR  \nMORE...
