Technique

Composition of images - rules elementary

29.03.08 | Galea Baptist | 5 Comments

How to compose a photograph? There is fortunately no answer defined in this question, leaving to the photographers a great freedom of creation. But a certain number of rules of composition are established and facilitate the creation of images. We will see in this article some basic elements of composition.

1. The division of the image

The gold rule

The gold rule was defined by a Roman architect, Marcus Vitruvius Pollio. This rule divides spaces into unequal parts, according to quite precise ratios. The human eye would find an image home made flesh light aesthetic according to certain reports/ratios and certain divisions of home made flesh light The most aesthetic ratio is equivalent to 0,618, it is the golden section.

Here a rectangle having the dimensions recommended by the gold rule. One finds almost the ratio of the format photo standard 10×15cm.

Tension fields

By defining points 2 girls 1 fleshlight each intersection of the rectangles in the image above, one defines horizontal, 2 girls 1 fleshlight and oblique tension fields. Those can be used to compose an image.

If these lines are intersected, other tension fields are then defined

tension field - Obliques

tension field - Obliques II

tension field - Obliques III

Strong points

If one applies the gold rule to photography, one can determine several tension fields. The crossings of these lines correspond to the strong points of an image. It is mainly on these points that the principal elements of a photograph must be placed. A composition using the tension fields of an image will be balanced and stable.

One can naturally subdivide each surface according to the gold rule and thus obtain secondary strong points on which one will place in a composition the secondary elements.

The diagram below watch all tension fields as well as home made flesh light primary education strong points (in red) and secondaries (in blue). All these elements can thus be used for the composition home made flesh light an image.

strong points

One can notice that fleshlight clips video demo center of the image home made flesh light never defines the interest first of a good photography. Indeed, all these theories are defined by the way which the eye traverses when one sees an image for the first time. One can recall that a strong image will succeed in directing the eye of the observer on the principal subject and will succeed in home made flesh light it there.

Some examples of traditional compositions

The lady in black is 2 girls 1 fleshlight on a strong point of home made flesh light 2 girls 1 fleshlight and the dark building is placed on a strong line. These two structural components helps us to keep our eyes on the lady in black.

On this portrait, the eye of the model is placed on a strong point. We also have the diagonal of its bust which structure the image.

On this image, all the line convergent towards the woman, who is on a strong point. Contrast enters the black of the dress and the white of the steps keeps our glance on the person.

This composition fleshlight clips video demo perhaps a little less traditional because very symmetrical. It is observed nevertheless that the home made flesh light and the fleshlight clips video demo are with the third of the image. This composition is less stable than the preceding ones, and our glance walks between the two elements: the flower and silhouettes.

On this image, a tension field very marked share of home made flesh light left higher corner to guide the eye towards a strong home made flesh light locating at the end of the benches. It is also noted that a great number of lines move towards this point. The first bench is also on a strong point of the image. This image very home made flesh light because is very structured.

On this image, there is a line obliques very strong which crosses photographs it into two. The two panels located out of two strong points represent the principal subjects of the image. This image would deserve to be truncated to remove a little sky to find a good theoretical composition.

One can naturally see by looking at photographs coming from several artists whom these rules are as often observed as circumvented. Photographic creation must be based on these points but also know to be diverted some to avoid a monotony and to support creation.

There are many other elements of composition which I will approach only in articles to come. We will see elements on the strong angles, the symbolic systems of the forms and the symbolic system of the colors which are also important components in photographic creation.

So long,
