  1. Visual Elements in Photography By Claudine-Faye H. Agno

  2. 1) Line - set of points a) Horizontal lines - Signify calmness and repose b) Vertical lines - life, dignity, timelessness, power and resistance to change Visual Elements of Photography

  3. 1) Line - set of points c) Diagonal lines - action, danger, uncontrolled motion, emotion d) Jagged lines - Abruptness and destraction/destruction Visual Elements of Photography

  4. 1) Line - set of points e) Curve lines - Fluid motion, grace, growth, fertility, erotic interest f) Leading lines - Leads to the main subjects or to some other elements of a picture Visual Elements of Photography

  5. 1) Line - set of points g) Implied lines - Line that is usually suggested by the arrangement of elements Visual Elements of Photography

  6. 2) Shape - two-dimensional outline of an object a) circle b) square c) triangle d) rectangle e) Implied shapes f) Silhouettes Visual Elements of Photography

  7. 3) Form - three-dimensional outline of an object - There are shadows Visual Elements of Photography

  8. 4) Texture - Surface characteristics of any object/senses • course/rough • glossy/ smooth Visual Elements of Photography

  9. 5) Color • To emphasize color: • differentiate the tone or values of the subject from the background and foreground Visual Elements of Photography

  10. Depth of Field (DOF) • distance between the nearest and the farthest objects in a scene that appears to be sharply focused on a print - the zone of sharp of focus Visual Elements of Photography

  11. Types of Depth of Field (DOF) 1) Deep DOF • shows the subject, foreground and background relatively in sharp focus -shows depth and perspective -assists in accurate focusing -establishes environment and sceneries Visual Elements of Photography

  12. Types of Depth of Field (DOF) 2) Shallow DOF • shows subject in sharp focus and the background/foreground blurred or out-of-focus - emphasizes the main subject and eliminates distracting background Visual Elements of Photography

  13. Factors Affecting Depth of Field 1) Aperture • the bigger the aperture, the shallower the DOF. - the smaller the aperture, DOF is deeper. Visual Elements of Photography

  14. Factors Affecting Depth of Field 2) Focal Length • the longer the focal length, the shallower the DOF. - the shorter the focal length, the deeper the DOF. Visual Elements of Photography

  15. Factors Affecting Depth of Field 3) Subject-to-Camera distance • the nearer the camera is to the subject, the shallower the DOF - the farther the camera is to the subject, the deeper the DOF. Visual Elements of Photography

  16. Common applications: 1) Scenery shot (deep) Use the following settings to achieve deep DOF: • smallest aperture - short focal length - move further to subject Visual Elements of Photography

  17. Common applications: 2) Close-up shot (shallow) Use the following settings to achieve shallow DOF: • big aperture - move closer to subject - use telephoto lens Visual Elements of Photography
