Diagonal composition

Diagonale compositie · Composition

A composition technique where lines or elements run diagonally through the frame to create a dynamic, energetic feel.

Horizontal lines suggest calm, verticals suggest strength, diagonals suggest movement. A road running from lower left to upper right draws the eye deep into the frame. Combine with leading lines for added depth.
