A snapshot is a quick shot, often spontaneous, taken to record a moment in time.
A photograph is am image taken with care and thought, planned out.
RULES OF COMPOSITION
1) Rule of Thirds: place the important subject, or important elements, of your composition where some of the imaginary lines (dividing the frame of your camera into thirds, both horizontally and vertically). Place a horizon line at the top or bottom horizontal divider. Also, fill up the entire frame with the subject for a close up image to add emphasis.
2) Leading Lines: use the lines created within the foreground or background of the composition to lead the viewer's eye through the picture. Lines can draw attention to one or more intended subjects or a single focal point.
3) Point of View: change the way your subject is perceived by changing the camera position. Changing levels or angles. If you are photographing something tall, compose it so the camera shots it looking upwards, and vice versa for something small.
4) Simplicity: keep the background simple and clear of clutter. The mood and effectiveness of a photo can be altered by what is in the background. A chaotic composition will cause the viewer to look away.
