Composition Rules and Guidelines

10 Composition Rules

                                  

             Lines - I choose lines because it the rule of leading lines, which says that the human eye is drawn into a photo along lines–whether they are curved, straight, diagonal or otherwise.

                                                          5 Elements of Composition

Symmetry - I chose symmetry because if the picture is shot at half of the object that you obviously know the other half of the image.  A symmetrical shot with a strong composition and a good point of intrest can lead to a striking images.

                                                  14 Composition Rules

Shapes- I chose shapes because you have to detach yourself from looking through your viewfinder at subject matter and consider the shapes of each of the elements in the frame.

Rule 5 : Blur the Background- I chose rule 5 because photograph can have a blurry foreground or background, so this special optical property can enhance the composition of your photos by further isolating the main subject from everything else around it.

Rule of Thirds - I chose rule of thirds because when looking through your camera, visualize the scene before you with a with a grid consisting of two vertical and two horizontal lines, similar to a tic-tac-toe pattern, placed over it. 

First Portrait Assignment

These were the two people i took of; there names, Asma Shaibi & Kevin Rincon. At first they were shy to take pictures & didn't want to look my direction. The way i got them to loosen up a little is by just talking to them and not make the camera so obvious

                       

My First Photo Outing - Principles of Design

• Balance

The Principal of Design that me & my group were assigned was Balance. This picture out of five that I took is my favorite because it looks equally balance. Even though we cannot see the back of the cement pot you can still picture the back because it is exactly the same as the front. this picture show an equal amount of color, design & still look Balanced. Balance is the distribution of the visual weight of objects, colors, texture, and space. Elements should be balanced to make a design feel 

stable.
