It is important to consider different compositional elements when choosing the subject of your photo to ensure a quality image. This tutorial addresses three of the most common elements for taking great photos.
You will learn how to use:
• Repetition: Recurring shapes and lines are a powerful unifying force in an image. See “Memorial” or “Life from Above” below for some examples.
• Contrast: The juxtaposition of organic lines versus right angles, dark and light, even varying focus. It draws the eye around the image, and enhances the focal point. See examples “Bikes on a Bridge” and “Repetition and Contrast” below.
• Framing: Look for natural frames that can give structure to your composition.
