Yearbook Photo Compositions by Logan Chavez

Rule of hirds

0070207919_1_1 — 2024-08-21 01:30:41 UTC

The rule of 1/3s is a photography composing trick for better pictures. Its when you imagine the picture as if being split into thirds and you try to place the subject onto one of those lines to draw attention to them.

Framing

0070207919_1_1 — 2024-08-21 01:36:36 UTC

Framing is when you use a natural background in your picture to frame the main subject or what you want viewers to draw attention to

Patterns

0070207919_1_1 — 2024-08-21 01:39:01 UTC

A pattern is a regularity within a scene of a picture. Its repetition of the same shapes, lines, or colors.

Symmetry

0070207919_1_1 — 2024-08-21 01:39:40 UTC

Symmetry is if you were to fold a picture in half, would it look the same on both folded halves.

Leading Lines

0070207919_1_1 — 2024-08-21 01:40:25 UTC

Leading lines are when a line can lead itself to the subject of a photo or highlight what you want the viewer to pay attention to.

Unusual angle

0070207919_1_1 — 2024-08-21 01:41:01 UTC

Unusual angle is pretty self explanatory. Its when you see a maybe common day thing at a different angle or one that is usually not seen.

Fill the frame

0070207919_1_1 — 2024-08-21 01:42:10 UTC

Filling the frame is reducing the background and having the subject of the photo take up the majority of the space.

Rule of thirds

0070207919_1_1 — 2024-08-21 01:44:37 UTC

This photo is a great example of the usage of rule of thirds. This is because the thirds rule really highlights the scenery of where the bird is and the beauty of it. The ocean fading into the background also captures it all together.

Framing

0070207919_1_1 — 2024-08-21 01:46:05 UTC

This photo is a good example of the usage of framing because it uses a natural setting to highlight the subject. The pillars are commonplace but when you look through them you can see someone skateboarding through them. The plain background really makes the subject stand out

Patterns

0070207919_1_1 — 2024-08-21 01:48:35 UTC

This photo achieves the composition strategy of patterns because of the repetition of shadow. There are many different repeating things in this photo which makes it so good. The pattern of shadow, arches, and pillars make it a great example of patterns

Symmetry

0070207919_1_1 — 2024-08-21 01:50:41 UTC

Symmetry and patterns are quite similar but also different. This picture is a good example of symmetry because the subject is highlighted quite clearly being in the direct middle and the petals spreading out everywhere like its wild but also organized. Overall this is a great example of symmetry in photography.

Leading lines

0070207919_1_1 — 2024-08-21 01:52:23 UTC

This is a good example because the lines help track where you're supposed to be looking. Along with the white lines on the side. This overall makes the photo very pleasing to look at as it winds down the road.

Unusual angle

0070207919_1_1 — 2024-08-21 01:55:11 UTC

This is a good example of an unusual angle because most of the times you see the Eiffel Tower in a way where the entire building is highlighted. But in this picture it almost looks like your laying down appreciating the sheer magnitude of this structure. Overall it makes the photo very intriguing and great example of unusual angles.

Fill the frame

0070207919_1_1 — 2024-08-21 01:56:52 UTC

This photo doesn't need much explaining as it does exactly what's in the title. The subject takes the entire canvas of the photo leaving not much background to look at. Along with the great quality this makes this a good example of filling the frame.
