Composition is a combination of art, a little bit of science, and a significant sprinkling of 'gut feeling. Here you'll discover all the rules and techniques that you need to know to improve your composition skills, and learn how to use them, and how they affect your images.
While we can't teach you the 'gut feeling' bit, simply getting out there and using these composition techniques will help you discover which ones work for you and the subjects you're shooting. Even if you already instinctively 'know' when an image looks right, learning about the rules of composition will only add to your skills, and help you to create more dynamic and striking images.
THE BASICS
Achieve balance and form by using these simple techniques in your shots
Identifying and positioning the main subject, and other focal points, in your image is at the heart of good composition. Get this wrong, and you'll simply end up with an unbalanced, awkward and unfulfilling image that will never look quite 'right'.
