There are people who, even with the latest camera and the cutest subject for shooting, take pictures that are absolutely ugly and sometimes even frightening. And all because the point is not at all in technology.;)

A supernova sophisticated camera with a large selection of lenses and filters is absolutely not a guarantee of beautiful photos. Sometimes mesmerizing shots are obtained using the simplest devices. In this case, the skill of the photographer is important to build the composition of the frame. Make our eye catch and admire the picture we see!

Do you want to become not only the owner of an impressive device, but also beautiful photos? Watch the video for very clear composition tips from photographer Steve McCurry.

Rule # 1

Place the objects at the intersection of the lines at the points indicated in the video.

Place important elements along the lines.

Rule # 2

Use the lines of natural objects to guide the eye through the picture.

Rule No. 3

Diagonal lines create a wonderful illusion of movement.

Rule No. 4

Use natural frames such as doors or windows.

Rule No. 5

Look for contrasts between subject and background.

Rule No. 6

Get closer to your subjects.

Rule No. 7

Place the dominant element in the center of the photo.

Rule No. 8

Patterns and shapes are aesthetically pleasing.

But it's best when they are interrupted.

Rule No. 9

Symmetry is pleasing to the eye.

But remember that sometimes these rules can be broken. After all, the main thing is that photography should first of all bring pleasure to the photographer himself.;)
