Rule of Thirds: This composition rule suggests placing the main subject of the image along one of the lines that divide the frame into thirds horizontally and vertically. This can be translated into architectural photography by aligning the main subject of the image, such as a building or a structure, along one of these lines.
Leading lines: This composition rule suggests using lines within the frame to guide the viewer's eye to the main subject. This can be translated into architectural photography by including elements such as pathways, roads, or other linear structures that lead the viewer's eye towards the main subject of the image.
Negative space: This composition rule suggests using the space around the main subject of the image to create a sense of balance and harmony. This can be translated into architectural photography by including elements such as sky, water, or other open spaces in the image to balance out the main subject and create a sense of harmony.
Symmetry and patterns: This composition rule suggests using symmetry and repeating patterns to create a sense of order and balance in the image. This can be translated into architectural photography by including elements such as symmetrical buildings, repeating patterns in the architecture or repeating shapes.
