Depth of field is a technical aspect of photography that controls the range of distances that appear sharp in an image. It is not a compositional element.

The rule of thirds divides the frame into thirds, both horizontally and vertically, creating nine equal parts.

Leading lines can be used to create a sense of depth, draw the viewer's eye to a specific subject, and create a sense of movement in dance photography.

Backlighting is a technique used in photography where the light source is placed behind the subject. It is not a type of lighting used in dance photography.

Mixed lighting can be used to create a more dramatic effect, a more natural look, and a sense of depth in dance photography.

Zooming is a technique used in videography, not photography. Cropping, framing, and panning are all common composition techniques used in dance photography.

Panning is a technique used in photography where the camera is moved to follow a moving subject. It is used to create a sense of movement in the image.

Silhouetting is a technique used in photography where the subject is backlit, creating a dark silhouette against a light background. It is not a common lighting technique used in dance photography.

Spotlighting can be used to create a more dramatic effect, a sense of depth, and highlight a specific dancer or movement in dance photography.

Candid photography is a type of photography that captures spontaneous moments. It is not a common type of dance photography, as dance photography typically involves posed or choreographed shots.

Rehearsal photography can be used to document the creative process, provide feedback to dancers, and promote upcoming performances.

White balance is a camera setting that adjusts the color temperature of the image. It is not a common camera setting used in dance photography, as the color temperature is typically controlled by the lighting conditions.

A fast shutter speed is used in dance photography to freeze motion, capturing the dancers in sharp detail.

Telephoto lenses are not commonly used in dance photography, as they are typically used for capturing distant subjects. Wide-angle lenses, prime lenses, and zoom lenses are all common lens types used in dance photography.

Wide-angle lenses can be used to capture a wider field of view, create a sense of depth, and create a more dramatic effect in dance photography.
