Frame within a frame

Image
 Frame within a frame is a technique photographers use to draw a viewers eye to the subject or main elements of the scene. It adds depth, increases a viewers interest or where they are viewing and creates a sense of isolation so that the subject inside the frame draws all the attention. It is like a second border inside your image. For example, windows, doors, arches, etc. The darkness around the frame highlights the center of the image in the center. The light in the center draws your eye to it. This frame of the walkway guides the viewers eye to Lily as she is centered under the frame.  The lighter outside of the frame of the walkway contrasts to the darker interior, which I really liked. Lily is centered in the frame highlighting her as the subject.  I thought the multiple frames in this was really interesting. I also liked how the view is highlighted while the frames are darker, putting emphasis on the view Similarly, I like how the window is acting as a frame. The wa...

Safari Final

For this project we were given 12 images and had to photograph different things that look like the given the images below. We had to photograph in square format.  

Leading Lines and symmetry

Image
  Leading lines- Leading lines guide the viewer through the image, allowing them to see the whole image. It can also draw the attention of the viewer to the main subject of the image. It creates depth and perspective and makes the image seem more three dimensional. The lines can be natural such as rivers or valleys, or created like fences of roads. The most effective way to put emphasis on the lines and main subject is by putting the subject at the end of the leading lines. Symmetry-  Symmetry in photography shows that an image can be divided in half, vertically or horizontally, and be visually similar or be similarly weighted on either side. The image might mirror other parts and the two halves of the scene look the same and balance each other out. This balance makes the image seem clean, neat and proportional. There are different types: vertical symmetry, horizontal symmetry, radial symmetry, and reflective symmetry. Links: https://www.photographymad.com/pages/view/leading-l...
