Full shot

Subject or interesting object can be totally seen in the shot. Human subjects we can see their face down to their toes.

This shows us the whole subject within the setting.

Medium Shot

Shows the subject in more detail. The photographer wants us to look closer at the subject.

Close up

A certain feature, like that subjects face, takes up the whole frame. Detail or emotion is of importance.

Extreme Close Up

Emphasises a small area of the subject, showing us details and emotion.

Macro photography is photos of small subjects, so you can see all the their tiny details.��You need a special lens for your camera.

Straight horizons

Rule of Space

The empty space in the right-hand image creates a more contemplative or thoughtful feel to it. We also look at the subjects eyes and wonder what they see.

Rule of space

Space adds movement to a picture.
