Rule of Thirds: This rule means to separate a photo into 3 imaginary segments, with one segment containing the subject on the left or right. 
Balancing Elements: The idea of this rule is to create a balance within the photo and to have mostly equality on each sides and around the subject. 

Leading Lines: This rule means that somewhere in the photo, there will be lines that lead towards or away from something significant, usually the subject.  
Symmetry and Patterns: This rule repeats an element to draw attention to it or uses shapes and patterns to do so.

Viewpoint: This rule focuses on the position and angle the photo is taken in (ex. bird's/worm's eye view, side of subject taken).

Background: A simple and plain background that doesn't distract or merge into the subject making an emphasis on the subject.

Create Depth: This effect creates focus on a certain point and gives the photo layers, like making it seem close up or far away. 

Framing: Using objects in the photo to enclose around the subject and emphasize it. 

Cropping: Cutting off part of the photo and keeping only important pieces.
Mergers and Avoiding them: Mergers are when the subject connects into another object in the photo or gets cut off, can be avoided with a plain background, 

Aperture: Focusing on certain objects. Small apertures include entire photo including background. Large apertures focus on only a certain area.


Shutter Speed: The speed the shutter closes. This effects the light that enters the lens as well as how fast of a motion you can capture.


ISO: This effects the sensitivity of the photo. You determine the ISO with light so you don't get a grainy photo.

It is acceptable to make minor changes and possibly changing the background. It is not acceptable to distort bodies completely and provide false expectations.

Environmental: When the subject interacts with an object or is put in a background that 
describes their personality

Self: A portrait of the photographer taken by the photographer.


Casual: A non-formal portrait that captures the subject unexpectedly.

Exposure: The amount of light cause by shutter speed and aperture.


Depth of Field: The amount of distance between the nearest and farthest objects in the photo.


Focal Length: The distance from the lens to the subject.

Early: This is usually a printed picture in the center with a title and small description.


Poster: Only a photo with a title.


Married to type: When the photo intersects of interacts with the title words.


In a Forest of Words: Multiple headlines around the cover.
