    This document discusses intermediate techniques for photographic composition. It describes how symmetrical scenes work well for centered compositions using reflections or vertical and horizontal lines. It also notes that triangles and diagonal lines create dynamic tension compared to horizontal and vertical lines. The document advises that including an odd number of primary elements can create a more interesting composition than even spacing and recommends using negative space to make the main subject stand out.

    INTERMEDIATE TOOLS – PART 2


    Once you’ve developed an eye for some of the basics of
    P H O TZ Y. C O M
    composition, it’s time to move on to intermediate level techniques.
    These techniques require a slightly higher level of competence. Perfect to print A5 size
    14cm x 21cm / 5.83” x 8.27”

    CENTER & SYMMETRY TRIANGLES


    For their natural lines, symmetrical scenes work While horizontal lines and vertical lines suggest
    perfectly in centered compositions - not only stability, triangles and diagonals create the opposite
    vertically, but also horizontally, (especially when effect: dynamic tension. A scene with triangular
    using reflections). subjects, or implied triangular shapes, will often
    appear more dynamic and energetic.

    RULE OF ODDS NEGATIVE SPACE


    Objects, in even numbers, especially when evenly Balancing the visual weight within an image (see
    spaced, create a feeling of structure. Another way part 1) creates a harmonious composition, but
    to create an attractive composition is to break breaking this rule can also lead to very interesting,
    this pattern. You can accomplish this by including eye-catching images. Leaving an empty, or
    an odd number of primary elements within “negative”, space around the main subject can
    your photograph. make it stand out. Make sure the empty space is
    part of the composition.
