Summary
Composition in photographs can make the difference between a good and a great shot.
Nine ways to improve your photographic composition include using leading lines, such as roads or rivers, to draw focus to a subject in landscape photography, and using symmetry in buildings or reflections in bodies of water.
Focusing on one subject, whether a person, animal, or object, can make your photos more interesting.
Including people or animals in a scene can help convey scale.
The rule of thirds divides your photo into thirds and places the subject and other items in each section to tell a story.
High-contrast shadows and backgrounds can bring out focal points.
Putting your subject in the middle of the photo can make it more interesting, as long as it works with the scene.
Taking photos from above can show a different perspective of a scene, emphasizing what stands out.
Using diagonal lines, like staircases or building designs, can make your photos more multidimensional.
Composing photos using these techniques will help you progress from a novice to an advanced smartphone photographer.
