BALANCE

Balance is a compositional technique in photography that juxtaposes images within a frame so that the objects are of equal visual weight.

SLIDE 5

TWO TYPES OF BALANCE

Formal: Symmetrical balance; frame the shot so that one or more identical or similar subjects are repeated symmetrical on each sides of a given point. Informal: Occurs when dissimilar elements balance each other

  • ut on each side of the frame.

CREATE (UN)BALANCE IN PHOTOGRAPHS

  • Rule of Thirds
  • Light against Dark: A small area of white in a photo can be

balanced by a larger area of black, and vice versus.

  • Colors: A small area of vibrant color can be balanced by a larger

area of neutral color.

  • Texture: Small areas with interesting textures in a photo can be

balanced by larger areas of smooth, un-textured elements.

CONTRAST

A way of using tones or color to direct the viewer’s attention to the main subject of the photograph.

SLIDE 13

TWO TYPES OF CONTRAST

Tonal: Increasing the lights and darks of a photograph so that there are very few gray (mid)tones. Color: Cool color recede into the background while warmer color pop to the front; saturated colors attract more attention than neutral colors.

EMPHASIS

EMPHASIS

What is the subject? Where is the subject? Where should the viewer look? What is important?

CREATE EMPHASIS IN PHOTOGRAPHS

  • Framing Choice: Horizontal or Vertical
  • Placement of the Subject: Rule of Thirds
  • Selective Focus: Simplify the Background
  • Perspective: Vantage Point
