    Study Notes

    Composition Basics

    • Steve McCurry does not mention 8 basics of composition in his work. The number of composition basics he mentions varies depending on the source.

    Rule of Thirds

    • The rule of thirds involves dividing the image into nine equal sections with two vertical and two horizontal lines.
    • Important elements are placed at the intersections of these lines or along the lines themselves for a more dynamic composition.

    Leading Lines

    • Leading lines guide the viewer's eye through the photograph by using lines or shapes within the image.
    • These lines can be real or implied, creating a sense of depth and movement.

    Framing

    • Framing uses elements within the photograph to create a natural frame around the subject.
    • It enhances the subject's importance and adds depth to the image.

    Negative Space

    • Negative space refers to the empty areas surrounding the main subject in a photograph.
    • It provides breathing room for the subject and balances the composition.
