Horizontal lines
In geometry, a horizontal line is one which runs from left to right across the page. It comes from the word 'horizon', in the sense that horizontal lines are parallel to the horizon. They can portray the idea of tranquility, stability and even rest. This can come from the idea of horizontal lines that we see in every day life, e.g. the view of the ocean, a sleeping body and fallen trees.
Vertical lines
a line perpendicular to a surface or to another line considered as a base: such as. a : a line perpendicular to the horizon. b : a line parallel to the sides of a page or sheet as distinguished from a horizontal line. They can represent strength and power, and the idea of growth (growing trees).
Diagonal lines
Diagonal lines generally work well to draw the eye of an image’s viewer through the photograph. They create points of interest as they intersect with other lines and often give images depth by suggesting perspective.
Curved lines
A line or surface that bends in a smooth, continuous way without sharp angles.
Leading lines
A leading line paves an easy path for the eye to follow through different elements of a photo. Usually they start at the bottom of the frame and guide the eye upwards and inwards, from the foreground of the image to the background, typically leading toward the main subject.
