- Snapshot: a quick shot, often spontaneous, taken to record a moment in time
- Photograph: an image taken with care and thought
Rules of Composition-
- Rule of thirds: imaginary lines drawn dividing the frame of your camera into thirds, both horizontally and vertically; subject placed where the lines intersect; horizon line at the top or bottom of the horizontal divider; can fill entire frame for closeup
- Leading lines: use the lines created within the foreground or background of the composition to lead the viewer's eye through the photo/to a focal point
- Point of View: changing the way your subject is perceived by changing the camera position; to make something look tall, compose the shot so that the camera is looking upwards, and vice versa
- Simplicity: keep background simple and clear of clutter; mood and effectiveness of a photo can be altered by what is in the background; chaotic composition will cause the viewer to look away
