• Balance – distributing visual weight evenly across the frame.
• Contrast – using differences in light, colour, or texture to create visual interest.
• Emphasis – using light, colour, or position to highlight what matters most.
• Movement – creating a sense of flow that leads viewers around your photo.
• Pattern – repeating shapes, colours, or textures to create rhythm.
