Composition 4- Symmetry, Asymmetry, Balance

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.

  1. I think every one of you photos follows the rules for each section which made you post flow very nicely. Since everything follows the rule i don't have any suggestions. Keep up the great work!

  6. I thought your symmetry composition was the best because of how simple they where. I really liked the editing on all of your photos. I don't have any suggestions for you.

  7. I really like the way you edited these photos to show the lightest lights and the darkest darks while still maintaining a soft feel. I have no critiques.

Composition 1- Triangle, Diagonal, and Rule of Thirds

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...
