Composition 9. Movement Flow from Left to Right
This is Part 9 of my series on Composition
This one sort of throws me because as a speaking English person here in the USA, we read text from left to right. But there are other languages that do not read that way. So my question would be would this "rule" apply to them?
The rule says to compose your photo from left to right similar to the way we read our text and to even flip your image if needed, as long as there isn't any text printed on it. This is especially suggested for action and wildlife images. And you should leave some blank space to the right of the action so that there is room for the person, animal, whatever has room to move into and doesn't fall off the edge.
