Good composition is important because it will not only keep your viewer engaged, but it will also make your photo more interesting. These tips will help you take great photos. For most beginning photographers, it will take a while to develop an "eye" for composition, but don't worry because you will get better.
1. Make sure that you always keep composition in mind. Try not to rely on cropping your photos later. While you can crop your photos later, you will waste a lot of time cropping all of them in order to get an interesting image.
2. Firstly, consider the placement of your subject. You will want to avoid placing your subject in the middle of the frame. "Sweet spots" are where you want to place your subject.
In order to visualize these sweet spots, imagine a blank, rectangular photo. Imagine 2 vertical lines breaking the frame into 3 equal parts. Next, 2 horizontal lines will break the frame into 3 equal parts. These lines will intersect in 4 spots, and these are the sweet spots. These sweet spots are the places to put your subject for a great photo.
3. Use lines or texture to draw the viewer into your photograph. Your viewer is going to be guided around the photo by the lines.
If you have a spiral staircase spiraling inward, the viewer will continue to follow that spiral around. If you have blades of grass and rays of sun, the viewer will most likely follow the blades of grass to the top of the photo, and the rays of sun to the bottom of the photo; they will continue this cycle.
Horizon lines can be placed either above or below the center. Lines from subjects such as trees, ladders, buildings, or railroad tracks can also be used to create strong composition.
