One important rule of photography is the rule of thirds. It’s a skill of NOT always centering your pictures. Think of splitting the picture into thirds. Two lines horizontally and vertically separate the photo into nine sections. You want to place your subject on one of the four points the imaginary grid. It adds effect when you make it seem as if the subject is heading toward the middle of the picture. When taking your pictures, don’t cut off from the legs or ankles. Take a full body shot or from the waist up.
