The document discusses different composition techniques in photography including balance, emphasis, rhythm, symmetrical balance, and asymmetrical balance. It provides examples of each technique through images taken by the author. Balance is achieved through equal visual weight across the frame. Emphasis is created by making one element stand out from similar elements. Rhythm uses repeating or echoing features to guide the eye. Symmetrical balance has two identical halves when split down the middle. Asymmetrical balance has one dominant side making the image look unbalanced.

Balance
Assembling the pieces in the frame to produce equal
visual weight across the image is the composition
technique known as balance. In the picture that I
have taken, it is two forks balancing a grape,
showing the element of balance in the picture.

Emphasis
One design principle that draws the viewer's
attention is emphasis. In the image, I pictured two
blue books and the one is the odd-one-out. The odd-
one-out book is the one that grab's the spectator's
attention since it emphasize that id does not blend in
with the others.

Rhythm
Repeating or echoing features are a hallmark of
rhythm photography. It might consist of a pattern
made of a number of forms that repeat. In the
image, you can see that the shapes "echoes" to each
other and it is guiding to another direction.
Symmetrical
Balance
Symmetrical balance, according to Google, is an image
that is two halves of the image are practically
identical. On the image above, the book is split equally
in the middle, making them symmetrical when you
split the picture into two.

Asymmetrical
Balance
Asymmetrical balance is an image that is unequal in
either sides. Their is only one side that is dominant
making the image look "unbalanced."
