Composition (Symmetry, Asymmetry and Balance)
Composition in photography shows they way that different elements in a photo are arranged within the frame. This week, we studied three new methods of composition: symmetry, asymmetry and balance. Taking a symmetrical photo requires a mirror image on each side of the frame. A symmetrical image could be folded in half and would match up perfectly. Asymmetry requires unequal visual weight on each side of the frame. Something in the photo has to disturb the balance. Balance is about equal weight on both sides of the frame, but it doesn't need to be a mirror image as in symmetry. When a photo is balanced, the eye isn't drawn to one part of the frame, but sees the whole photo equally.

Hello there Malia! Great job this week. The photos that stand out to me are the ones that you made symmetrical with that mirror filter and it'd be interesting to see the whole series like that. Again, ~great job.~
ReplyDeleteI like how many of these photos feel smaller scale. I especially like the photo of the lockers with the thin ray of light going across it.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your symmetry photos and how you didn't use mirror for all of them
ReplyDeleteI like your close up photos and the mirror effect you use
ReplyDeleteI really like the way the light shines on the lockers in your symmetry section and overall how that photo turned out. I also think the soda bottles for balance was a very smart idea as well as outside the box.
ReplyDeleteI really like the color and brightness in some of the pictures and I think that they all look really nice.
