Veer the Subject Away from the Center
It is the natural instinct of the one taking a photo to put the subject in the center of the frame.

If you put the subject on the side frame, you are revealing a dimension like the surroundings of the subject. This is very useful if you take photos outdoor to reveal the natural environment that surrounds the subject. Experts believe this gives the viewer a preview of the whole place and why you want to take that snap.
Fill-up the Whole Frame
Frames are used to focus the eye of the viewer on the subject. However, there are alternatives like forget the frame and just fill the whole picture with the subject.
This is very useful when you are taking photos of food or flowers or anything that takes the whole space of the frame. It is, however, important to crop to avoid empty spaces especially around the edge.
Use Accessories

Tripods and remote controls are also very helpful! Tripods are best used when taking photos at night or when subjects are fast-moving because you don’t want the photos to come out shaky.
Additionally, taking groupfies or selfies can be restrictive because of your hands. So why not take control and just snap photos by syncing Bluetooth remote camera to make things life easier?
Lines Tell Story

Horizontal, vertical, or sometimes curved lines, as long as there are leading lines in your photo, it connects the viewer’s eyes to the focal point. Using this technique is very efficient when talking pictures of superhighways, streets, stairs, or architectures.
