With the help of six professional photographers, Marc Silber of Advancing Your Photography shares over a dozen composition tips with us in the video below.

Joe McNally kicks off the video by telling us that generally the rule of thirds is a pretty good guideline. With that said, he continues to suggest that you ought to bend the rules to help create dynamic photographs. You're trying to invite the viewer to enter and explore your image.

"Composition becomes like a ballet, it becomes choreography," Seaman says. To learn what other pros think about composition, watch the video below.
