COMPOSITION


COMPOSITION DEFINITION: composition is the way in which you place or arrange the person or thing in your photograph.

PHOTO COMPOSITION RULES: 

  • Rule of thirds
  • balancing elements 
  • Leading lines
  • Viewpoint
  • Background
  • Depth
  • Framing
  • Cropping 
  • Experimentation


FACTUAL: this photo is by Vee Speers who is an Australian artist.

CONTEXT: This is a series of vees photos from the birthday party, as you can see you uses the rule of thirds.

TECHNICAL: as you can see that the background is light but her face is dark so its using lighting as well.


AESTHETIC: i like this photo because it makes you ask questions about what the photo is about.This picture has a lot of composition in. It has the rule of third and the golden section it also has contrast as the background is bright but her face is dark and her skin is smooth but she still has a mask on. This picture is simple aswell.


EXAMPLE- Rule of thirds:
The basic principle behind the rule of thirds is to imagine breaking an image down into thirds (both horizontally and vertically) so that you have 9 parts. 



With this grid in mind the ‘rule of thirds’ now identifies four important parts of the image that you should consider placing points of interest in as you frame your image.
Not only this – but it also gives you four ‘lines’ that are also useful positions for elements in your photo.
This is a picture with the lines to show you rule of thirds.

  1. Fantastic use of glossary, remember to expand on 'how' there is the rule of thirds.

    Imagine you are explaining the image to a child, would they know what the rule of thirds is?

    also put a 'how to guide' either through a link or if you scroll up to assignment 4 it will show you how to add a 'slide share'

    keep up the pace and remember to ask yourself 'what's' happening in the image and 'how' it is happening :)
