Photography Composition JEA Photojournalism Curriculum

What is composition? Composition refers to the way a photo is constructed/planned to make the biggest possible impact. Composition rules are ingredients that a photographer may use, but just like a chef wouldn’t use all of the ingredients in his pantry in one meal, a photographer won’t use every composition skill in one photograph.

Rule #1: Rule of Thirds If you divide your picture into a tic-tac- toe board, your subject should not be located in the center square Bushra Ghafoor, R.B. Hayes High School

Addie Driskill, Maize (Kan.) High School

Rule #2: Repetition A repeating pattern works well to emphasize your subject A little bit of variance (changing it up) within the repetition is even better

Rule #3: Angles If you can change the angle or viewpoint of your photograph, you automatically make it more interesting Note: Changing the angle does NOT mean tilting the camera.

Bird’s Eye View The PIX Yearbook - Little Rock, Arkansas

Rule #4: Strong Subject (Or “Fill the Frame”) Photo has a strong, dominant focal point and/or center of interest Keep your background simple to avoid distractions

Rule #5: Framing Use natural elements to create a frame for your photo, so your audience knows exactly what your focus is

Rule #6: Leading Lines Lines in a photo direct a viewer’s focus to the photo’s subject

Rule #7: Selective Focus When a photographer narrows a picture’s depth of field so that only part of the picture is in focus. (Combine this with rule of thirds to create an awesome photo!)

Limits of composition rules A chef may use high-end ingredients but that doesn’t automatically make the recipe taste great. Just because a photo has great composition doesn’t make it a great journalistic photo. A journalistic photo must also tell a compelling story.

Without a compelling story, a photo will fall flat of its purpose. It may be beautiful, but it must also be impactful. The best stories include individuals and supporting details to give views a complete picture.
