These 9 principles were compiled by Steve McCurry – one of the famous photographers who took the haunting photo “Afghan girl”. Currently he is working at National Geographic.
Principle 1: Divide the photo into 3 parts
You can divide the image into 3 vertical or horizontal parts and what you want the viewer to notice, place it where the lines meet.
You may not need to divide the photo into 3 parts but use the natural lines available in the shots to focus the viewer’s attention on the photo.
Principle 3: Divide the photo diagonally
You can take advantage of the existing diagonal lines in the photo, placing what you want the viewer to notice on the diagonal lines.
Principle 4: Use natural frames
You should also use natural frames as well as borders in the photo, such as windows or doors to be able to take the most artistic photos.
Principle 5: Find the contrast between the photo object and the background
This is not a new principle, but not every photographer can do it artistically and delicately. You should be able to make the photo object and background have a certain contrast, this will help your photo get more attention.
Principle 6: Take close-ups of your face
Taking close-ups is also a way to expose what you want others to notice in the photo. Focusing on the photo subject 100% will definitely help you get a beautiful photo.
Principle 7: Divide the photo in half at the middle of the left eye
You can make your left eye the center of the photo, which will make viewers much more attracted.
Principle 8: Repetition and prominence
If among many similar houses, one house stands out the most, viewers will definitely pay attention to that house. Likewise, if in a “forest” of repeating things, you highlight a different object, your photo will be extremely attractive.
Principle 9: Symmetry
You can take beautiful photos by placing the photo subject in the center of the photo. Symmetry is always simple but effective.
