Composition 3- Leading Lines, Decorative Lines, and Arrangement

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.

    I really liked all your compositions. I like how simple they are and I like how soft the editing was. I thought that all of your photos went together very well. Good job

    These are all really great! I have no suggestions. I especially like your arrangements of lines.

    You did a really nice job on all your photos. They really show your knowledge of the lines. One thing that doesn't really matter is maybe making the photos a little darker to really sharpen your lines.

    I really liked your decorative line photos. They all showed an different way of using decorative lines. However, I think that you could have found some more interesting ways of showing arrangement of lines.

    You did a great job capturing lines that lead to the subject. I particularly enjoyed the first photo because both sides of the walls having leading lines into the subject (door). However, for some photos, like your second and fourth photo the perspective that the picture was taken at, makes it slightly difficult to find the subject. But, these photos were tremendous, especially the arrangement of lines! Amazing job on this composition!!!!

    All of your photos are really gorgeous! You perfectly captured all three techniques. My only critique is of your third photo in the leading lines series. I understand that the lines are leading to the lantern, but I also feel like the lantern is cutting off the leading lines and almost interrupting the photo. If you had shifted your perspective to capture the entirety of the lines, this image would have flowed better.

Class Project 1

Class Project 1 I tried to recreate Lauren's fall series by taking black and white pictures of Lauren while she was using her arms to make shapes. I tried to recreate Daro's miniature world by making Daro seem short by having him sit under a table.  I tried to recreate Lakpa's photos by overlapping and fading her face with a scenic picture. I feel like this photo is really relaxing.  I tried to recreate Liam's photos by overlapping and fading his face with a scenic picture. I tried to recreate Armon's photos by taking a picture of him with abstract architecture behind him. I tried to recreate Stewart's photos by taking a picture of him sitting in an urban area. I also tried to make the picture look like Stewart wasn't aware of his photo being taken. I tried to recreate Danny's athlete series by taking a portrait of him. I tried to recreate Ava's ghost series by taking a picture of her, printing it out, a...

Draft 5

Draft 5 My project is based on of Uta Barth's photos. I did this by fully zooming in and going fully out of focus. By doing this, I was able to create simple shapes with simple colors. I wanted to mix colors and geometric shapes in a way to create a neat abstract image. I added the PicMonkey Film Grain filter to each of my photos in order to make my photos more simplistic. My themes are very simplistic and calming, and they make the viewer really think about the photo and try to interpret what the subject of the photo is. After my first day of taking photos, I learned that street lights are very good subjects for my photos, as they emit an unusual and prominent color. My photos changed since my Draft 4 photos by trying to have more simple shapes that have conflicting colors. I continued to try to create shapes in my photos so that the focus is not too drawn out into the corner by some bright light. I also read Casey's comments which suggested me to take these photos at night t...

My photos changed since my Draft 3 photos by having the impact of the grain filter on my photos be less. I tried to create shapes in my photos so that the focus is not too drawn out into the corner by some bright light. I basically tried to create an even balance in all of my photos. ...
