LEADING LINES
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.

TRIANGLES
Triangles are a great way of combining different com-positional techniques, such as lines and paths, using them to create a more interesting aspect of a photograph. The best thing about using triangles is their ability to make a photo feel stable or unstable.
PHI GRID (GOLDEN RATIO)
The Golden Ratio is based on the Fibonacci sequence, which was developed by a mathematician in the 12th century.
DIAGONALS
Diagonal lines generally work well to draw the eye of an image’s viewer through the photograph. They create points of interest as they intersect with other lines and often give images depth by suggesting perspective.
RULE OF THIRDS
The Rule of Thirds is a more widely recognized image grid that is very much like the Phi Grid. The Rules of Thirds is a grid that divides any frame into nine equal parts. The corresponding ratio is 1 to 1 per rectangle. So it’s close to the Phi Grid but not precise. The result is a perfectly symmetrical grid that easy to visualize and use.
FIGURE ON GROUND
Figure Ground Relationship is a clear distinction between figure (subject) and ground (background). A light figure on a dark background, or a dark figure on a light background.
