PHI Grid:
The PHI grid helps you visualize the golden ratio. It is based on a combination of smaller rectangles in a grid over an image, where four of the rectangles are based on the 1:1.618 ratio. What you can see when using the PHI Grid is in the spaces where grid lines intersect. These so-called “sweet spots” are places where the eye is naturally drawn in an image. Cropping or aligning an image so that key parts fall in these areas will create focus and harmony. Many people don't know the PHI grid technique but they obviously know the grid, which is seen a lot. Diagonals:
Diagonal lines work well to draw the eye of an image’s viewer through the photograph. It creates points of interest as they intersect with other lines and often give images depth by suggesting perspective. They can also add a sense of action to an image and add a dynamic looks and feel. Also different studies have been done into how people view images and many of them say that a natural way into an image is by traveling left to right and so a diagonal line starting at the bottom left and moving to the top right of an image can be quite useful and natural. |
Rule of thirds:
The rule of thirds invloves divining up your picture in two horizontal lines and two verticle lines . The postion is a important element in your scene along the lines, or where they meet. The idea is the off-centre compostion which is more please to the eye and looks more natural, so the subject is placed right in the middle of the frame |
Leading lines:
There are a number of great tricks to improve the composition of your photography, and one of the most underutilized of these is drawing a viewer's attention to specific points in an image using what are known as leading lines.Leading lines are natural lines in the image that lead the viewer's eye to another point in the image or, occasionally, out of the frame entirely. Anything with a definitive line can be a leading line including fences, bridges, and shorelines, and their placement within images naturally guide viewer's attention down their paths in the frame.It's important to understand how to properly utilize leading lines, though, as they can sometimes lead the viewer's focus out of the frame for no reason or away from core elements. |
Figure in ground:The figure to the ground is simply when you have a picture which is weather black or white as a background and the main object as the opposite color. if the object blends in with the colours of the background it obviously means that the picture is not a picture containing this technique.

Framing:
Framing is a technique which is seen everywhere and pictures with framing in them an be obvious or less obvious. framing is when a picture is taken in a certain way with something surrounding the edges of the photo creating a frame like picture. these types of pictures are fairly simple to take, as all you really need to do is take a picture through something with a hole, such as a window, and allow the edges of the object to appear on the ends of the photo. what this technique dos is simply attract the viewers eyes towards the center of the image. So in simpler words, framing is focusing the photo towards on object, with the framing technique being used to guide the viewers eyes towards the main focus of the photo. |
Curves:
Curves is another simple technique used in photography. it is when you take a picture containing a lot of curves such as taking a photo of a spiral stair case from the top of the stairs and taking the picture which pointing the camera towards the bottom creating a beautiful never ending illusion. though not all curve photos have to give that type of effect it could simply be a picture of the side of a street corner, and you will still be achieving the curves technique. As long as you are getting some form of a curve in the photo. |
