One common photographic technique is the centre composition. This helps you show the photographer’s intention and makes it clear to the viewer what you want them to see. Things that are placed in the middle of the frame have a greater visual weight than those in the corners. This type of composition is perfect for close-ups. This composition can also be used for displaying the scale of an object, or detail in a photograph.

Rule of Thirds

A photo is balanced if its composition is divided into three equal parts, as in the example above. This rule in photography is known as the rule to thirds. It's meant to emphasize balance and symmetry when taking photos. A photo that follows a rule of threes is more dynamic, and therefore more pleasing to the eye. You can also apply it to portraits.
