Leading Lines:

• Leading lines are a powerful compositional technique that guides the viewer’s eye through the image, directing attention to the subject or focal point.
• Different kinds of leading lines include horizontal, vertical, diagonal, converging, and curved lines, each creating a unique aesthetic and mood in the photo.
• These lines, which can be natural or human-made, enhance depth, balance, and storytelling.
• Leading lines are found in various photography styles, from landscapes to portraits, and can include elements like roads, rivers, and architectural features

Symmetry:

• Symmetry is a fundamental principle in architectural photography that creates balance, harmony, and order in the image, highlighting the precision and coherence of the design.
• Align the Verticals: Ensure vertical lines in the photo are parallel to the picture plane to maintain professional quality.
• Use Axial Composition: Keep primary horizontals parallel to the picture plane to provide stability and order, especially with wide-angle lenses.

Rule of Thirds:

• The rule of thirds is a composition guideline that places the subject along the left or right third of an image, leaving the other two thirds more open. This often results in a balanced and engaging photo.
• The key to using the rule of thirds effectively is to understand the visual weight of the subject and how it interacts with the surrounding elements. This can help you create a balanced and harmonious composition that guides the viewer's eye through the image.
• Filling the frame can create an interesting composition, allowing the subject to be in the foreground or parts of the image that aren't fully in the frame. Breaking the rule of thirds and centering the subject can also be effective in creating a unique image.
• Taking multiple shots with different compositions can help you choose the best one later. Experimenting with different placements of the subject, including dead center, upper right, and upper left, can create unique and interesting compositions.
