#1 When composing a picture the right background is key. If the background in a picture is to busy it can take away from the photo and distract. Try to keep the background simple, or use your zoom to blur out the background and focus on your subject. One could also use the background to tell a story. For instance if you could focus on the bottom of a wedding dress and the slightly blurred background could be the flower girl and ring barer walking in behind, which is a great way to tell a story in one picture.
#2 When composing a picture make sure that you have the right lighting. Lighting can make or break a picture, it is also one of the most common elements of a picture people forget to give attention to. Lighting can bring attention to a certain object in the picture or change the whole feeling and mood of the picture. When taking a picture remember that the best lighting is natural lighting! Especially if a picture is taken outside in the shad, this ensures that the subject will not be washed out and you will be able to play with the lighting that the shade causes.
#3 When composing a picture remember the rule of thirds. A picture where the subject is framed in the center tends to be boring but if set off to the side it could become very interesting and eye-catching! When the picture is framed in thirds it shows the audience more of the story, it shows where the subject has been or where it is going.
