Name and describe three other ways to incorporate interesting composition into your photography.
What is Good Composition in Photography
Framing
Careful framing of your subject can make a dramatic difference in your photos. Remember—every photo has a foreground and background, so use them together to add an interesting element to the shot.
Theme
Consider the theme of the picture you’re taking. Make sure it matches the text that it accompanies. A good picture will draw the reader to the story, and make the words come alive.
Angle of the view
Believe it or not, the best angle for a photo is not always upright and directly in front of the subject. Some of the most interesting photographs are those taken from a unique vantage point. Get down to the level of the flowers before taking the picture. Climb a tree to take a picture of a meadow. Always ask yourself if the photo would look better taken as a landscape or portrait shot. Experiment and try different perspectives. Look for angles that are interesting and demonstrate the mood and inspiration you're trying to capture.
Balance
Achieving good balance in your photographs requires the correct combination of colors, shapes, and areas of light and dark that complement one another. Achieving the right balance in your photos is easier than it appears. Think about your subject and capture it from an angle, viewpoint, or even time of day that focuses attention on the subject.
Perspective
To capture the essence of what you experience when viewing a scene, it helps to add an element to your photo to convey this perspective.
