Photography

1. Rule of thirds - a composition guideline that places your subject in the left or right third of an image, leaving the other two thirds more open

2. Golden ratio -  the golden ratio can be used to create balanced and aesthetically pleasing compositions

3. Leading lines -  a compositional technique where human-made or natural lines lead the viewer's eyes through a photograph to the subject or the heart of the image.

4. Figure to ground -  figure to ground photography is to make your subject brighter than your background. 

5. Centre dominant eye - The central position of the subject's dominant eye seems to create a more dynamic piece of eye contact with the viewer. 

6. Fill the frame - It refers to fill your photo's frame with more of your subject, reducing the amount of background or negative space shown. 

7. Frame within frame - A frame within a frame is the use of visual elements in a scene to border a subject, further drawing the focus to them.

8. Repetition and pattern - The repetition of lines, shapes, tones, or colours can create interesting images. 

9. Diagonal - any slanted lines in a photograph, such as tilted trees and road paint, as well as partially outstretched arms and bent flagpoles. 

10. Symmetrical and asymmetrical - Symmetry in a photo allows to draw the viewer's eyes to all parts of the photo. Asymmetrical balance has two sides that are unequal while having elements that balance each other out.
