Composition
“The photographer has almost as much control over his subject matter as a painter. He can control light and shade, form and space, pattern and texture, motion and mood, everything except composition.” - Andreas Feininger, The Best of Popular Photography by Harvey V. Fondiller , ISBN: 0871650371 , Page: 71
Yes, I know you’re first project for photography 1 was to take photographs depicting the elements and principles of art. However, since you are in photo 2 this time around you will have better composition. Remember, composition is a term used for the arrangement of all the elements and principles in a work of art. A successful composition draws in the viewer and pulls their eye across the whole work of art so that everything is taken in and finally settles on the main subject of the art piece.
In this assignment, focus on composition.
Here are some elements and principles to consider INDIVIDUALLY and/or COMBINED:
ELEMENT PRINCIPLE LINE MOVEMENT SHAPE/FORM BALANCE TEXTURE PATTERN VALUE CONTRAST SPACE EMPHASIS
COLOR UNITY
