A powerful point of view involves "becoming the subject." This means that you shoot the photo from the angle of the subject. For example, a shot of airport shown as though you were looking through the traveler's eyes (traveler's hands might be visible). These shots allow the viewer to feel like they are experiencing the event first hand.
Paying more attention to light is perhaps the single most important step you can take to improve your photography. Lighting is a key factor in creating a successful image. Therefore it is necessary to control and manipulate light correctly in order to get the best texture, vibrancy of colour and luminosity on your subjects. Photographers use lighting ratios to describe the amount of contrast in an image.
Framing in photography might not be what you think it is. When you hear the term framing, you most likely think of the typical wooden frames in which you mount your photos before you hang them on the wall. But no framing means to compose the better photographs by placing them in such a way that draw the viewer's attention into the photos and further move the viewer's eyes around to the main subject.
Contrast in photography is the visual ratio of different tones in an image. This difference is what creates the textures, highlights, shadows, colors and clarity in a photograph. When editing a photo’s contrast, the goal is to either increase the contrast to make an image more exciting and dramatic or decrease the contrast to make an image more ethereal and soft.
Leading lines refers to a technique of composition where the viewer of your photos attention is drawn to lines that lead to the main subject of the image. A leading line paves an easy path for the eye to follow through different elements of a photo. Usually they start at the bottom of the frame and guide the eye upwards and inwards, from the foreground of the image to the background, typically leading towards the main subject. Place your subject where the lines converge to give the subject more importance in the frame and draw the viewer’s attention directly to it.
Shutter speed controls how long your camera's sensor is exposed to light and is responsible for the appearance of motion in the photo. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that passes through to the camera's sensor. Conversely, the shorter the shutter is open, the less light that's able to pass through.
The Rule of Thirds is a type of off-center composition where important elements of a photograph are placed along a 3×3 grid, which equally divides the image into nine parts. For many photographers, this type of composition a basic way to give structure to photographs and make them more appealing. With the rule of thirds, photographers envision four lines across their photographs, which also creates four intersecting points.
