DREW PHOTO Max

Symmetry A photo is a symmetrical one if when an imaginary line is drawn down the middle, the left/right can flip over the imaginary line and properly line up with it's right/left counterpart. I illustrated symmetrical photos through symmetrical perspectives in circles, boxes, and lines. Asymmetry An asymmetrical photo is a photo in which there are typically two subjects that are not the same size next to each other. I mostly illustrated asymmetry through depth-staging. Balance A balanced photo is one in which there are two different subjects next to each other, but the photographical weight to them is the same which makes them balanced. I illustrated this through structures, plants, banners, pipes, and cars.

Leading Lines A leading line picture is one in which there is a physical line, not a shape of a line, directed towards an obvious subject. I demonstrated leading lines through hand railings, architecture, signs, and street lines. Decorative Lines A decorative line picture is one in which there are lines, or designs, that add to the picture, but when they are removed from the photo, they don't alter the image. I illustrated decorative lines from the smallest of lines in the bricks on a stair case, all the way to the crosswalk lines in an entire intersection. Arrangement Arrangment photos are pictures where there are big shapes, typically lines, that are so big that they are the subjects of the photo, unlike decorative lines. I illustrated arrangement photos from power lines all the way to wooden fencing.

Leading Line A leading line in a picture is essentially a photograph where there is a shape of a line which moves from the front of the photo to the back. This line helps guide the viewer to the subject in the photo, which is at the end of the line. I took photos of leading lines using sidewalks, pipelines, streets, and architecture. Repetition A photo with repetition is one in which there is the same subject being repeated and going in the same direction, making the further subjects smaller than the closer subjects bigger. I illustrated repetition through a fence, stairs, garage doors, and apartment windows. Depth Staging Depth staging is when there are two subjects, one distinctly in the front and one distinctly in the back. Depth staging creates perspective for the viewer. I made examples of depth staging with cars on the street being in the back, and having various subjects in the front.

Triangle Taking triangular photos requires taking pictures of landscapes or objects in which three distinct subjects, acting as the corners, form a triangular shape. I attempted to take triangular photos by finding objects that formed a triangular shape, or simply finding triangles in architecture. Diagonal A diagonal photo is a photo where there is essentially a line made by a subject, which goes diagonally through the photo, typically from one end to the other. I illustrated diagonal lines through hand railings, power lines, and the line separating an apartment building to the sky, shown in the last picture. Rule of Thirds A Rule of Thirds photo is one where there is one distinct subject on one side of the photo, horizontally or vertically, and when the photo grid cuts up the sections into thirds, the distinct subject should be exclusively in one of the columns or rows of the photo that is not in the middle. I illustrated the Rule of Thirds hor
