From left to right

It is said that just as we read from to , we also look at photographs from to unconsciously. This (controversial) theory holds that even if we see an image as a whole, we tend to look at the elements on the left beforehand.

Juxtaposition: From left to right

In images with many elements, try to find two that are juxtaposed and that give harmony to the image.

It is as if in the middle of the chaos we find two or more elements that are the same or that are arranged in the same way.

Golden triangles

The rule of thirds but in a difficult version. In the image that you are going to reproduce, you have to draw a diagonal line from the lower left corner to the upper right corner. Then another line from the lower right corner until it touches the diagonal that we had drawn. The result is an area divided into 4 triangles, the golden triangles.

This type of spatial composition is considered to be deeply harmonic.
