Angles
Frame your subject by choosing interesting angles from which to shoot. By capturing in your photo other elements that give depth and interest to your subject, you'll be able to create the masterpiece you're looking for. While this may mean anything from tree branches in the foreground to children at play in the background, using creative perspectives will help you get the angles you want.
To improve upon your angles, consider shooting a landscape that includes some element with an "s" curve. Instead of merely straight lines, you'll be able to play with streams, rivers, and other gentle curves to produce winding lines that will add interest to your photograph. When you add to that the angle from which you are shooting the scene, you'll combine and enhance your image in a way that most photographers do not.
Using Lines
Imaginary lines are those not perceived or implied. They do not exist, nor is there a hint of them at all in the frame to cause the viewer to place something there that is not. Instead, imaginary lines are those that our mind perceives as beautiful. They are, in essence, the guidance system that determines whether or not something is considered inspiring or stunning. Rules of symmetry and geometry play a key role in imaginary lines.
Implied lines, while only partially imaginary, are those partially present. For example, when a portion of a line is in the photograph, while the rest remains off the frame, you are creating implied lines. Effective use of implied lines often occur when capturing portions of architecture or the human body when the entire subject is not in frame.
Finally, inherent lines tend to exist without really noticing. Examples include tree trunks, door frames, edges of walls, and spirals of a staircase. While coming from various directions, these lines can be vertical, horizontal, or diagonal. When youuse inherent lines to tell a story, often vertical lines portray a feeling of power while horizontal lines tend to symbolize a state of rest.
Dimensions
Although photography is limited to only two dimensions, we work in a world of three. So, the question remains, "How can I effectively present three dimensions?" You'll find that the keys to this are capturing textures that make your photo come to life and using angles that cause your depth of field to be easily apparent.
Continue to develop the elements in your photography through a better understanding of them. By using other elements combined together to produce another (like dimensions), you will be able to master elements. Once this is achieved, you will find that playing with these concepts is the real art of photography.
