Compositional Trick #3 Macro



Macro photography is when you take a picture of an emphasis up close. When you focus on an emphasis, the background becomes blurry and makes the emphasis pop out even more. It's good to use Macro in photography, but you shouldn't use it all the time.

Compositional Trick #2 Leading Lines
