Rules of Composition

Fill the Frame Give your subject prominence. Choosing more negative space is ok, but distancing the subject too much causes a boring and unfocussed composition decide how important your subject is and then give him/her a ratio of the frame that is directly related to his/her importance. Crying Girl Roy Lichtenstein 1963

American Gothic by Grant Wood 1930

Rule of Odds The eye tends to be more comfortable with images that contain an odd number of elements rather than an even number. The human eye will naturally wander towards the center of a group. If there’s empty space there, then that’s where the eye will fall. You want your viewer to look at a subject, not at an empty space. Judith Beheading Holofernes Caravaggio

Les Desmoiselles d’Avignon Pablo Picasso 1907

use your eye to roughly divide your image with four lines into nine equal-sized parts, then place your subject at the intersection of those lines. Rule of Thirds “Portrait of the Journalist Sylvia Von Harden” by Wilhelm Heinrich Otto Dix 1926

The Persistence of Memory Salvador Dali 1931

Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai

Leading Lines -When we look at a photo our eye is naturally drawn along lines. -By thinking about how you place lines in your composition, you can affect the way we view the image, pulling us into the picture, towards the subject, or on a journey "through" the scene. -There are many different types of line - straight, diagonal, curvy, zigzag, radial etc - and each can be used to enhance our photo's composition. Arnolfini Portrait Jan van Eyck Early Renaissance

The Creation of Adam Michaelangelo 1512

The Birth of Venus Sandro Botticelli 1486

Vary Your Sizes Add interest by varying the sizes of the objects you use in your composition A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte Georges Seurat

The Starry Night Vincent van Gogh 1889

Mergers 1. Object to Object -space objects apart OR overlap them -never have objects awkwardly touching edge to edge The Last Supper Leonardo da Vinci

Luncheon of the Boating Party by Pierre Auguste Renoir 1881

2. Object to Frame - Never have an object touching the frame. Either overlap it (crop) or allow space between it and the edge Las Meninas Diego Velázquez 1656

What the Water Gave me Frida Kahlo 1938
