Composition 2- Leading Line, Repetition, and Depth Staging

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.

  1. I really, really like these images. Some of them, like the second one for repetition, could be adjusted slightly in the framing (size and angle). Also, you could produce a wider variety of subjects for depth staging, as many of them are of cars.

  2. I agree with Stewart's comment. I really liked the way did leading lines however i think you could have improved the variety of subjects. Overall i think you did really well though.

  3. I really liked your leading lines photos because it was very clear where I was looking. I do agree with lauren and I think you could improve the variety of subjects in your leading lines photos. Other than that I think you did very well.

  4. I really enjoyed all your photos. They all really capture the element of each composition. I especially enjoyed your leading lines. I do think you could have a different variety of subject however, but overall I think you did a really good job.

  5. I like your repetition pictures my only suggestion is to make the subject in the front and the back more clear for depth staging.

  6. I think you did a great job of fulfilling the goals of this assignment. My favorite would probably be your repetition photos because of the variety of subjects used. My only suggestion would to adjust the angle of some of your leading line photos so the leading line is more prominent.

  7. Your photos are all very interesting! I think with the depth staging you could have blurred the background more to really make the main subject stand out from the stage it is within. Otherwise, your photos are excellent!

  8. I like how these are all in black and white. They all seem very related and connected through that

Spring Project 3

Spring Project 3 I went all out for this series. I had taken many photos over the past weeks, and I was able to edit all of them this week. I'm really proud of how this week turned out because I created a sense of flow in each image, despite having a wider range of subjects in the series. I used more natural lighting this time too, and I avoided creating silhouettes. One of the problems with this specific post is that the dimensions of each image are not consistent. This has been a very fun but tedious project to work with. 

Fall Series 3

Fall Series 3: Nathan Lyons I am basing my project on Nathan Lyons' photos. His visual recipe is: odd subjects out of their natural habitat, dark and urban backgrounds, shadows, and black and white. What make his photos have a general theme of oddness are how most of his subjects he takes pictures are usually out of context and out of place. His photos never featured or showed any "real" person, but could have featured "not real" or "fake" people. A "real" person is a direct picture of a living person, while a "not real" or "fake" person could be a physical copy of an image of someone, or a mannequin. There wasn't really anything "living" in his photos. He did this in order to create an isolated feel to his images, as a photo with no "real" human face makes the viewer feel secluded.
