Our main task for this assignment was to illustrate different composition techniques that photographer's use to make their photos aesthetically pleasing. There's no right or wrong way to take photos, but these specific techniques will help make your work more visually appealing to the eye of the viewer. The techniques mentioned are some of the most basic and easy to work with/include in your photos. Balance - Equality of weight and definition in a photo. Movement - Suggestion of action. Repetition & Rhythm - Repeated element in an image. Emphasis - Stressed placed on a single area of an image (highlighted). Simplicity (a.k.a. visual economy) - Eliminated non-essentials from an image. Contrast - Stark differences between elements in an image. Proportion - Relation of two things in size, number, amount, etc. Space - Measurable distance between objects/elements in an image. Unity - Relationship between parts and whole composition. This assignment helped me to play more with different subjects and be more creative with my composition and techniques. I also enjoyed trying out new editing styles that I've been experimenting with for the last few weeks. This included extensive dodging/burning and selective color. I'm excited to use these techniques in the near future for other photo assignments.
