Lines
Lines in photographs give the image great perspective. Especially if the lines join up at a point at the end of the photograph.
Including lines with space and perspective gives a nice effect and creates a balanced photograph.
Triangles
Photos arranged into triangles help keep the photo balanced and interesting. Triangles are solid looking and give the best composition.
The rule of triangles works best in portraits giving the photograph the best balance.
The rule of triangles also works well alongside the rule of the rule of even and odd. The balance gives the photograph good composition.
These photos have a feeling of harmony and balance.
Space
The use of negative space can be dramatic. Filling less of the frame with the subject gives more space. Sometimes the subject can be looking into the space like this photograph.
Filling a photo with too much detail and filling the frame with a small about of space can make the photograph become confusing and lack detail.
'Looking into space' is an effective way to create negative space.
