Tips and Ideas for Photographing Eyes

Photographing Eyes: Tips and Ideas

Take a look at these awesome photos with emphasis on the eyes.

Rule of Thirds

Using the rule of thirds to set the eyes of the subject off center, immediately captures the attention of the viewer.

Space and Direction

The man is gazing to the left so placing him on the right part of the image allows room and direction for his focus to travel from right to left.

Catchlight

The subtle reflected light in the eyes of the subject powerfully conveys a sense of life and intelligence, and enhances the emotion of the image.

Expression

Composing a photograph to deliver a specific emotional message to viewers is a great way to use eyes in photography.
