27sshelton10522 — 2023-09-01 20:39:29 UTC

symmetry around a central axis, as in a starfish or a tulip flower.

symmetry

27sshelton10522 — 2023-09-01 20:40:31 UTC

In photography symmetry appears when parts of your composition mirror other parts. It is created when two halves of your scene look the same and balance each other out. Symmetry defines something being clean, proportional and balanced and will make pictures appear neat, tidy and clinical.

abstract

27sshelton10522 — 2023-09-01 20:43:25 UTC

Abstract photography consists of images created using photography materials and equipment that don't have an immediate association with the physical world. Abstract photographers use perspective, movement, and light to transform the world we see into an unexpected, often unrecognizable image.

line

27sshelton10522 — 2023-09-08 20:24:11 UTC

Line is a point that continues; it implies motion. Lines are open and lead the eyes into a photograph or to an interesting point of the photo.

shape

27sshelton10522 — 2023-09-08 20:25:40 UTC

Shape is generally considered two-dimensional, while Form is three-dimensional. In photography, how we light an object can determine whether it's perceived as a shape (if the lighting is flat or silhouetted) or a form (if the lighting has accentuated shadows & highlights to create depth)

color

27sshelton10522 — 2023-09-08 20:26:52 UTC

The definition of color is a component of light that is separated when it is reflected off of an object. Color begins with light. The color we see is influenced by the characteristics of the source and what it reflects off. Wavelengths of reflected light determine what color we see.

space

27sshelton10522 — 2023-09-08 20:28:29 UTC

the rule of space in photography is simply the act of adding visual space in front of the direction that an object is moving, looking or pointing to imply motion and direction and to lead the eye of the viewer.

texture

27sshelton10522 — 2023-09-08 20:29:12 UTC

the visual quality of the surface of an object, revealed through variances in shape, tone and color depth. Texture brings life and vibrance to images that would otherwise appear flat and uninspiring.

value

27sshelton10522 — 2023-09-08 20:29:58 UTC

Value defines how light or dark a given color or hue can be. Values are best understood when visualized as a scale or gradient, from dark to light. The more tonal variants in an image, the lower the contrast. When shades of similar value are used together, they also create a low contrast image.

form

27sshelton10522 — 2023-09-08 20:30:37 UTC

Form refers to when shape takes on three dimensions. Form is created by shadows and highlights on an object in the photograph. You can see in these two photos how shape becomes form when light hits the subject.

balance

27sshelton10522 — 2023-09-15 20:38:58 UTC

a composition technique that arranges elements within the frame to achieve equal visual weight across the image. The visual weight of an element essentially measures how much attraction it draws from the viewer.

variety

27sshelton10522 — 2023-09-15 20:40:02 UTC

unity(harmony)

27sshelton10522 — 2023-09-15 20:43:59 UTC

a special appeal that you can't quite put your finger on. For many captivating images, that quality is unity, which exists when multiple aspects of an image are visually in sync and working in harmony to strengthen the theme.

emphasis(contrast)

27sshelton10522 — 2023-09-15 20:44:38 UTC
