Framing + Rule of thirds

One of the easiest ways to take a creative photograph is to compose your subject with a frame around it. A photographic frame is an object that that acts as a border or frame for your subject. The frame directs the viewer’s attention to a particular subject or point of interest within the photograph. Frames also create perspective and show depth.
Though this is also very important for films and television, all framing directs the viewer’s attention to the main subject of focus that you want, but you do not need to always go tightly into the frame. You can leave the subject framed but still leave other objects around the edges of the shot.
While most people naturally center an image, the rule of thirds uses a slightly different approach. When looking through your lense, imagine the frame divided into thirds both horizontally and vertically so that you have nine equal-sized parts. The rule of thirds states that the four points where the lines intersect are the strongest points in which to place the most important feature of your shot.
Professional photographers, graphic designers, and artists of all kinds use the “Rule of Thirds” principle to compose their photographs and art pieces. Applying the rule of thirds takes some practice and forethought, but creates magnificent photographs.
