It was about them that Steve McCurry, a recognized genius of National Geographic and the author of the picture "Afghan Girl", told. Using the example of his works, he showed that, observing the basic principles of composition, anyone is able to get a beautiful photo.
We publish 9 tips, thanks to which you can significantly improve your skills.
Place important parts of the composition along the lines, and most importantly-at their intersection.
Use natural lines to focus the viewer's attention.
Correctly selected lines give dynamism.
Use natural frames, such as windows and doors.
Find the contrast between the subject and the background.
Come closer to the person you are shooting.
Place the right or left eye in the center of the composition. This gives greater expressiveness to the look of the viewer.
The patterns are nice to look at, but it's even better when the photographer interrupts these repetitions by adding an object for contrast.
The harmony of the two halves is pleasant to the eyes.
