Diagonal lines help to direct the viewer to the main subject. Diagonal and vertical lines also help to inject energy into an image whereas horizontal lines are more calming and are often used in landscapes.
In my image, the light highlights the handrail so stands out and effectively leads to my model. This makes an image easy on the viewers eye as it erases distractions from the image by focusing the eye on the subject.
Photos which tilt upwards towards the face portray power from the model. This is because the eyeline is high and the model is above the camera, also suggesting they are above many people. This technique is often used in photgraphing powerful pubic figues to show their strength and authority. However, this technique does have negatives. As the camera is tilted upwards, the chin and nostrils are emphasised meaning the final image is not always the most attractive. I think that if done well this technique is very effective in creating a great sense of power and is very striking to viewers.
The framing technique often features an image within an image as a natural frame is included. In my own example this is the handrail which acts as a frame around my model. This frame creates a locates the focal point of the image and highlights this for the viewer. This is a very effective technique as it adds depth to an image and highlights the most important part of your image.
