Composition

This page explores composition techniques such as rule of thirds, leading lines, and framing.

Orange cat grooming itself

This image uses composition to draw attention to the cat’s natural gesture and expression. The subject is placed slightly off‑center, which follows the rule of thirds and creates a more dynamic, intimate feeling. The shallow depth of field softens the background and isolates the cat, allowing the viewer to focus on the texture of the fur and the motion of grooming. The soft lighting brings out detail without harsh shadows, and the close framing emphasizes the personal, candid moment. Together, these choices create a balanced composition that feels warm and natural.
