In photography, diagonal lines can be a dynamic way to create a strong impression of depth or movement. All images are created with lines, but whereas vertical and horizontal lines can imply stability and strength, diagonal lines are often more precarious. Knowing how to place lines can affect the mood and composition of the overall image, so take some time to work on the framing of your final shot.
