Tip IX: Lines to Guide the Eye

Lines can be a very useful element to compose an image and guide the viewer’s eye. The idea is to use them in a way that they “point” to our subject. In the images that I show here there are some very simple examples of this, but there are also some examples that are less obvious. On one of them you can see the out of focus wall that, as it gets sharper, guides our eye to the focused family. Also, the shadows from trees and from the subject himself end up working the same way. Like I usually say, there’s nothing like experiment and practice, then all of this becomes intuitive and very natural.dica-tip-ix
