Composition techniques are methods used by artists and photographers to arrange elements within their work. These techniques help create balance, focus, and harmony, guiding the viewer's eye and enhancing the overall impact of the piece. Common techniques include the Rule of Thirds, where the frame is divided into a grid, and Leading Lines, which directs attention through the use of lines in the composition. Another important technique is Framing, which involves using elements within the scene to create a "frame" around the subject, adding depth and context. Additionally, Symmetry and Asymmetry can be employed to create visual interest, while Contrast helps highlight differences between elements, making the composition more dynamic.
