Pictorial Lines

Lines Leading to Subject:

A leading line is a line that points towards a certain subject.  It is used to portray a "focus" on the photographer's main item.

Decorative Line:

Decorative lines are lines that provide flair to the photo.  Not every single line is going the same direction in this composition.

Arrangement of Lines:

An arrangement of lines that either repeat itself or provide a variety of directions in which the lines face.

Depth

Leading Line:

A leading line is a line that "leads" you to something, whether it be the horizon or a specific object.

Repitition:

Repitition is a object repeating itself, allowing the spectator of the photo to determine the depth of the image.

Depth Staging:

Depth staging is one object clos to the camera and an object or person farther away from the lens.  This technique is used to portray the psace intween objects/humans giving the image a 3D look.

Composition/Abstracts

Diagonal:  

A diagonal concept should be comprised of an image in which the object is shown/taken at a sideways angle.  

Triangle:

In the triangle composition, the subject of the image should be triangular shaped.  The tricky part to creating a triangle composition is finding an object that is triangular shaped and not something that has triangle like shapes within the overall structure.

Rule of Thirds: 

When composing a rule of thirds image you need to keep the main subject on 1/3 of your screen.
