Make an ordinary set of stairs appear extraordinary by giving your composition a symmetrical and minimal point of view. The immense amount of empty space in the upper half of the photograph, combined with the simplicity of the details in the lower half, make for an overall balanced composition that's pleasing to the eye. In addition, the unknown factor of where the model is heading toward adds an element of mystery.
