Talking about photographic composition techniques is a very exciting subject. This will be the first of a series of articles that I will be writing, in order to share the techniques that throughout my studies and dedication to photography I have been learning, experimenting, using and many other times deciding not to use, but always to awareness. Knowing these techniques will make us build our images so that they are able to achieve a greater visual impact on the viewer, and above all, they will allow us to tell the story we want our photographs to transmit.

I believe that it is mandatory to know and test them, so that they become useful tools for the construction of our discourse as photographers and allow us to make images that speak. But surely the case will be presented, in which many times we want to not fulfill them, as in fact already many consecrated photographers do it. But always with responsibility and with conscience. Undoubtedly one of the best ways to learn the __Techniques of Composition__ is to study the masters of classical and modern painting, all possible genres and understand how they composed each of their works. After all, photographers are painters, only our ink is light. In the next post, I will be sharing several of these techniques, with details and examples, such as: __Regla de Los Tercios__ __Ley of the Horizon__ __La Ley de la Mirada__ __Contrast__ __Simplicity__ __Rhythm__ __Symmetry__ __White and Black__ __Color__ __Use of the Lines__ __and others...__ ## __*We read soon and we continue sharing this exciting world of photography.*__ __(All the photographs of this post are of my authorship, taken in the Study of the Teacher Armando Villalón, painter Larense, Venezuela)__ __Alejandro Coutinho__ ![steemit_sin_foto.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWtS8LtzSZWJeZ4c749qw7ddKTPRgakejdjTRks8BuaHr/steemit_sin_foto.jpg)
