Free photography tip: Find lines that pull the eye (step 3 of 14 from "Phone Photography That Looks Intentional").
Leading lines are real-world lines — sidewalks, fences, shadows, railings — that guide the viewer's eye into or through the frame. Stand so a line enters from a corner or edge and points toward your subject.
You don't need dramatic architecture. A crack in pavement, a row of parked cars, even the edge of a table can be a leading line if you position yourself so it angles inward rather than running parallel to the frame edge.
