A strong photographic composition differentiates a good photo from a mediocre one. A clutter-free framing with a well-defined subject goes a long way in achieving a solid composition in your photograph.
Many composition tools exist to help you photograph a subject in a clear and interesting way that engages the viewer of the image. Leading lines is one such composition tool wherein you draw a viewer’s attention to the lines that lead directly to the main subject of the photograph.
This post contains 15 photographs that make great use of leading lines to create an engaging composition – especially in landscape photos and street photography, where leading lines work really well. We hope that they inspire you to create some of your own shots using leading lines.
