A photographer controls the composition of the photograph they are taking by deciding exactly what will be included in the photograph and what will not. The photographer chooses a subject to shoot and makes decisions such as where to place the subject, as well as what to include in the background and the foreground of the photo. Many quick, almost subconscious, decisions go into creating a photograph and composing something that catches the eye, captures the moment and draws the viewer into the scene once the photograph is printed. This skill for most is developed over time.
