Photography Composition Guide

This tool helps you learn the key rules of photographic composition. Follow the interactive guide to improve your photos with composition techniques like the Rule of Thirds, Leading Lines, and Symmetry. You can upload your own photos to see how well they fit these rules.

Rule of Thirds

The Rule of Thirds involves dividing your image into a 3x3 grid and placing key elements along these lines or at their intersections to create a balanced and dynamic composition.

Rule of Thirds Example

Leading Lines

Leading lines are natural lines that lead the viewer's eye through the image, drawing attention to the subject or creating a sense of depth.

Leading Lines Example

Symmetry

Symmetry creates balance in an image, either through natural elements or man-made structures. Perfect symmetry can add harmony and focus to your composition.

Symmetry Example

Framing

Framing involves using elements within the scene to create a 'frame' around the subject, drawing focus to the main subject of the image.
