Artistic composition is the placement of visual elements in a work of art, such as a painting, graphic design, photography, sculpture, and more. In relation to digital photography, artistic composition can add balance and mood. It can also place focus on the main subject.
1. Rule of Thirds - In the rule of thirds, the photo is divided into thirds using two lines running vertically and two lines running horizontally. To create balance within the photo, the main subjects is placed off to the side, along one of the lines or the where the lines intersect.
2. Points of Power - Similar to the Rule of Thirds, the Points of Power refers to the placement of the main focus of the image on one of the points in which the lines intersect.
3. The Golden Rule - The Golden Rule is defined by a mathematical sequence of numbers known as the Fibonacci sequence. It is the more complex version of the Rule of Thirds. Using the Fibonacci sequence or the 1:.68:1 grid, it creates harmony and balance. It is often found in nature and architecture.
4. Vertical and Horizontal Lines - Using vertical and horizontal lines can create a mood and also help lead the eye through the photograph. Horizontal lines can be used to create the impact of a lack of change or timelessness, for example, in building, horizons, and fallen objects. Vertical lines can project a mood of stability or peace, for example, rock formations and power line poles.
5. Oblique Lines - Oblique lines create points of interest as they intersect with other lines and give images depth by suggesting perspective. They also add a sense of action to an image and a dynamic look and feel. It also had the effect of leading the viewer through the image.
6. Curved Lines - Curved lines add beauty and grace to a photo. They are also a popular design technique for leading the eye into the frame. In contrast to straight or patterned lines, curved lines allow the eye to explore an image in a smooth, free-flowing way.
