Camera Techniques

This picture has nose room, this good so the person in this image does not look like he is falling out of the picture.  Nose room is the space between the edge of the frame and a person’s face when it is in profile.  In general, the space surrounding the subject should be 1/3 behind and 2/3 in front of the subject’s head.  I think this image is a very good example of nose room.

The rule of thirds has been used to take this image. The rule states that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines.


































When photographing or filming people, it is common to line the body up with a vertical line, and having the person's eyes in line with a horizontal one.
