Essential Rules of Basic Photography

Tweet

Photography is less about what you capture and more about how you capture it. With these four composition techniques you can transfer any photo into a masterpiece.

Rule of Thirds

The image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally spaced horizontal lines and two equally spaced vertical lines, and important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections,which are the four focal points.

Spacing

Leave ample space in the direction your subject is looking otherwise the photo could feel uncomfortable or confined.

Simplicity

Offset a plain subject with textures, patterns and busy backgrounds to emphasize its simplicity.

Leading Lines

Use lines to tell a story, place emphasis on a subject or draw a connection between two subjects.

Einat Kessler

When she was a young girl Einat used to sit on the carpet at her grandparents’ house with a huge scrapbook on her knees looking through it with amazement. These albums, created from scratch by her grandfather took her imagination to faraway places and sparked her creativity years later. When her first son was born her grandfather suggested she would create a scrapbook to document his life. Einat was bit by the scrapbooking bug and the rest is history.
Today Einat is a versatile designer who owns her own business. She dabbles in various crafts from scrapbooking and altered art to mixed media and 3D paper crafts. She teaches online classes and design for several companies. She shares her projects and designs on her blog, FB page and very successful YouTube channel.
