Photography composition and non verbal communication work

In order to construct my website i will have to include photographs of which i have taken myself. in order to make sure the photos i took were of a good standard there were a number of photography rules of which i had to take into account.

Eye Flow

These pictures should have a flowing element, of which guides the viewers eyes through the entire picture

Dominant element
In this type of photo there is usually one main element to the photo of which it is focused on. the subject may be a single object or a relationship.

Simplicity
this is when only what is essential to the scene is included in the image, maybe to show the importance of the essential element

The rule of thirds

In the top photo, we see how the footballer is dead centre in the picture, and there is alot of wasted space around him. To make this photo more appealing to the eye you can use the rule of thirds, where you take a photo and make the subjects take up more of the wasted space.

Diagonal Rule

This is where a side of the picture is divided into two parts, with a diagonal line (in this case the start of the sand) separating the parts.
