It doesn't matter if you have a natural talent for photography or if you're working to hone your skills - it's still important to understand and think about composition. Knowing how to compose a photograph will always make it easier to get great shots. Scroll below for six composition rules and tips that every photographer needs to know.
The Rule of Thirds

The first rule that all new photographers learn is the basis for well-balanced shots: The Rule of Thirds. Basically, the idea is to break down a photograph into thirds both horizontally and vertically, like so:

If you start by looking at the three horizontal lines, you'll see an easy way to divide a landscape shot. Try to aim and get a third of skyline in the top box, a third of horizon in the middle box, and a third of foreground in the bottom box. This will immediately balance your image. You can then add points of interest at the four points where the vertical and horizontal lines cross. Once you've mastered the concept, you'll see that the rule of thirds can work well with any type of image and can help to keep things balanced.

But, like all rules, this one can be broken! For instance, if you're shooting a stunning sunset, you'll want to give more than a third to the skyline. The key here is to learn the rule well and practice it repeatedly before you attempt to break it.
Fill the Frame

One of the most common compositional mistakes is to leave too much empty space in a scene. This means that the subject of the photo can get lost in an image and, even worse, leave a viewer confused as to where they're meant to be looking. The simplest way to avoid this problem is to zoom in further, or simply move closer to your subject. When composing a shot, try to avoid the cardinal sin of cramming everything you see into an image. Great photos have a strong point of focus, and to achieve this you need to get closer to that subject.
Learn About Depth of Field

Nothing ruins a photograph faster than using the wrong depth of field. And by extension, the wrong depth of field ruins the composition of a photograph. You need to learn about depth of field and make it the first thing you think about every time you prepare to take a photo.

A landscape shot, for example, needs a large depth of field so that the entire scene is sharp from foreground to horizon. Depth of field is also extremely useful if you want to isolate one person from a crowded scene. By using a small depth of field, you can make the background blurry and remove any distractions from your image.
Leading Lines

Lines are everywhere. There are obvious lines, such as walls, fences, roads, buildings, and wires. But the way to improve your composition is to look for lines in everything you photograph. Horizons create strong lines, but so do rays of sunlight or clouds in the sky. People's faces and bodies also have lines that can be used to your advantage. The key is to use lines to draw your viewer into your image and provide perspective and depth. You can take this one step further by using lines to draw your viewer's eyes to your subject.

Bonus tip: Our eyes are used to reading text from left to right, so position your subject on the right hand side of the frame, as it will help to make a stronger image.
Don't Be Afraid to Crop

Remember that a portrait is about the subject and they should always be the focus of your image. One of the easiest ways to draw attention to your subject is to zoom in until their face fills the frame. Do not be afraid to go in for the crop! There's nothing worse than a half-hearted crop, whereby one foot or hand has been cropped off with tons of dead space on the other side of the subject. If you're going to crop, it needs to be a strong crop, done evenly on both sides. Look for the strongest features in your subject and focus on those.
Tell a Story

Last, but not least, when you take a photo, think about what you're trying to convey with your image. How do you want people to feel when they look at your photo? Are you portraying a sense of calm or excitement? Think about everything you choose to include in your photograph. What does it add to your subject and story? If it doesn't add anything, consider whether it should be included in the first place.
Of course, there are hundreds of composition rules and tips out there, but these will get you started on the road to producing truly inspiring photographs. Have a favorite composition rule that we didn't mention? Share it in the comments below!
