In conceptual photography, framing is used to direct the viewer's attention to specific elements of the image and to create a visual metaphor or symbol that conveys a message or idea.

Bokeh is a technique used to create a shallow depth of field, which can be used to isolate a subject from its background. While it can be used to create visually appealing images, it is not typically used in conceptual photography to convey a message or idea.

Leading lines can be used to create a sense of depth by drawing the viewer's eye into the image, to draw the viewer's eye to a specific element of the image by creating a path that leads to it, and to create a sense of movement by suggesting that something is happening or about to happen.

Using a shallow depth of field can help to isolate the subject from its background, creating a sense of separation and loneliness.

The rule of thirds is a compositional guideline that divides the frame into thirds, both horizontally and vertically, creating nine equal sections. The most important elements of the image should be placed along these lines or at their intersections.

Placing the subject in the center of the frame can create a sense of symmetry, which can be used to convey a sense of balance and order.

Wide-angle lenses can be used to exaggerate the size of objects in the foreground, creating a sense of drama and impact.

Telephoto lenses can be used to compress the distance between objects, creating a sense of depth.

Panning the camera can be used to create a sense of movement by blurring the background and creating a sense of speed.

Using a shallow depth of field can create a sense of depth by blurring the background, draw the viewer's eye to a specific element of the image by isolating it from the background, and create a sense of movement by suggesting that something is happening or about to happen.

Wide-angle lenses can be used to create a sense of mystery by exaggerating the size of objects in the foreground and creating a sense of depth.

Using unexpected juxtapositions can create a sense of humor by creating a visual surprise or contradiction.
