Rules of Photo Composition

1) Rule of thirds - if the photo is divided by 2 vertical and 2 horizontal lines into 9 equal parts, the most important elements should be placed along these lines or where they intersect

2) Balance - even while using the rule of thirds, the image should be balanced; for example, don't leave an empty spot on one side of the photo, and try to fill it with another object of lesser importance

3) Viewpoint - try to shoot from different angles such as from above or below, rather than always from eye level
