+ Directions for Taking images
Prep & Planning
Camera: mobile or digital camera or the camera on your computer. Subject: What will you be taking an image of? You CAN use the same subject for BOTH images! PLAN: Review the different compositional techniques and select two (2) that you would like to demonstrate. Environment: Make sure your background is uncluttered! If using your phone camera, think about using portrait mode for the compositional technique simplicity! 💡 LIGHTING: Select an environment with good lighting. If you’re indoors, go near a window.

Carefully compose and take TWO images that demonstrate TWO different compositional techniques of your choice.
- 📸 Compositional Techniques: the rule of thirds, filling the frame, leading lines, simplicity, framing, and symmetry.
- You CAN use the same subject for both images.
- 💡 Pay attention to lighting. Do you have enough light or too much? Look at how and where the light falls on your subject. If you're indoors, take the image near a window!
- Avoid distractions in the background. Clear out cluttered or distracting elements.
- Try taking your images at different angles, some close-ups, and some further away to add variety.
- EDIT: Select two of your best images and if you can, edit your images by cropping or auto color correction.
- IDENTIFY: You will be prompted to identify the compositional technique for each image before you submit your images.
- IDENTIFY: You will be prompted to identify the orientation (square, portrait, or landscape)
- SUBMIT your photographs for evaluation and reflect on your experience.

Simplicity
The simplicity technique eliminates all distracting elements within the image frame that might draw away from the main subject by removing elements, enlarging the main subject, or blurry the background.
Use portrait orientation when:
Portrait Orientation
- The subject is TALLER than it is wider.
- Action or movement is happening vertically.
- If you want the subject to take up more of the vertical space.
Video Recap:
Rule of Thirds
The rule of thirds divides an image frame into thirds both horizontally and vertically. Point of interest or the subject should be placed along the lines or the intersection of those lines.
This is a free app you can download on your phone. It is very user-friendly and creates professional-looking photos using a wide variety of tools and filters.

Video Recap
Leading Lines
Leading lines are lines from natural or human-made elements in the image that lead the viewer's eye towards the main subject or through the image.
Framing
Framing uses natural or human-made frames to create a border around the subject. Frames can be human-made, like a window or door frame, or natural like an arch or tree branch.
Video Recap
Fill the Frame
The fill-the-frame technique captures a subject that fills most or all of the image frame, leaving no room for distracting elements. Subjects often extend beyond the image frame!
- The subject is WIDER than it is taller.
- Action or movement is happening horizontally.
- To capture the expansiveness of a subject like a landscape.
Landscape Orientation
Use landscape orientation when:
Symmetry
The image can be easily divided in halves!Symmetry provides balance by dividing the image frame in half, with the subject of the photo divided equally vertically or horizontally. Symmetry can be also created by centering a subject with radial symmetry extending outward.
