  1. Visual Literacy Concepts Photographic Composition

  2. Make the photograph interesting • Composition • Balance • Subject Placement • Pattern • Tone • Light • Direction • Quality

  3. Composition is • the arrangement of items in an image • where the subject is, in relation to the borders of the image • the key to successful images

  4. Composition is Balance • Balance • Symmetry • Asymmetry • Subject Placement • Leading Lines • Framing • Rule of Thirds • Pattern • Radial Design • Repetition

  5. Make the photograph interesting • Be Sure to Balance • Symmetrical • Asymmetrical

  6. Balance • Equality of the left & right sides of the image

  7. Balance • Symmetry • Both sides of an imaginary central line are the same • Asymmetry • Both sides of an imaginary central line ARE NOT the same

  8. Symmetry Both sides of an imaginary central line are the same • Karl Blossfeldt

  9. Asymmetry Both sides of an imaginary central line ARE NOT the same • Karl Blossfeldt

  10. Symmetry Both sides of an imaginary central line are the same • Diane Arbus

  11. Asymmetry Both sides of an imaginary central line ARE NOT the same • Diane Arbus

  12. Symmetry Both sides of an imaginary central line are the same • Walker Evans

  13. Asymmetry Both sides of an imaginary central line ARE NOT the same • Walker Evans

  14. Which? Symmetry or Asymmetry? Both sides of an imaginary central line ARE NOT the same Asymmetry • Ansel Adams

  15. Which? Symmetry or Asymmetry? Both sides of an imaginary central line ARE NOT the same Asymmetry • Bill Brandt

  16. Which? Symmetry or Asymmetry? Both sides of an imaginary central line ARE NOT the same Asymmetry • Jerry Uelsmann

  17. Balance • Symmetrical Balance - • Both sides of an imaginary central line are the same • Equality of the left & right sides of the image • Asymmetrical Balance - • Both sides of an imaginary central line ARE NOT the same

  18. Make the photograph interesting • Draw Attention to Your Subject • Leading Lines • Framing • Rule of Thirds • Leading Lines

  19. Draw Attention to Your Subject • Leading Lines • Lines that lead in a path to the subject • Ansel Adams

  20. Leading Lines • Lines that lead in a path to the subject • Lewis Hine

  21. Leading Lines • Lines that lead in a path to the subject • Dorothea Lange

  22. Make the photograph interesting • Draw Attention to Your Subject • Leading Lines • Framing • Rule of Thirds • Framing

  23. Draw attention to the subject • Framing • Objects within the borders of the image frame the subject • Arnold Newman

  24. Framing • Objects within the borders of the image frame the subject • Manuel Alvarez-Bravo

  25. Framing • Objects within the borders of the image frame the subject • Anne Geddes

  26. Make the photograph interesting • Draw Attention to Your Subject • Leading Lines • Framing • Rule of Thirds • Rule of Thirds

  27. Rule of Thirds • Place the subject in a junction of an imaginary “tic-tac-toe” grid over the image.

  28. Rule of Thirds • Place the subject in a junction of an imaginary “tic-tac-toe” grid over the image. • Dorothea Lange

  29. Rule of Thirds • Place the subject in a junction of an imaginary “tic-tac-toe” grid over the image. • Imogen Cunningham

  30. Rule of Thirds • Place the subject in a junction of an imaginary “tic-tac-toe” grid over the image. • Steve Ludlum

  31. Make the photograph interesting • Look for patterns • Radial Design • Repetition • Radial Design

  32. Radial Design • Objects, shapes, lines, and/or colors radiate out from a central point in a circular pattern. • Alfred Eisenstaedt

  33. Radial Design • Objects, shapes, lines, and/or colors radiate out from a central point in a circular pattern. • James Nachtwey

  34. Make the photograph interesting • Look for patterns • Radial Design • Repetition Repetition

  35. Repetition • Same shape, line, pattern, and/or color is repeated throughout the image. • Harry Callahan

  36. Repetition • Same shape, line, pattern, and/or color is repeated throughout the image. • Margaret Bourke-White

  37. Elements of Composition • Draw Attention to Your Subject • Convey a Clear Message • Make Your Photograph Interesting

  38. Elements of Composition • Balance • Symmetry • Asymmetry • Subject Placement • Leading Lines • Framing • Rule of Thirds • Pattern • Radial Design • Repetition
