Composition

Composition in media contains:

Golden rectangle:

The Golden Ratio is a term used to describe aesthetically pleasing proportioning within a piece of work or an image. The centre of the spiral fits the most important, eye catching part of the image.



The rule of odds:
 The rule of odds states that having an odd number of objects in an image will be more interesting and therefore pleasing to the eye and to look at.

In case there is an even number of objects, your brain would have an easier time organizing and looking at the objects.

The objects in pairs are therefore bringing in symmetry and dullness.

If you have one main object, accompany it with two supporting objects, not one. This way, one of them will be a middle one.

Leading lines:
The use of lines can be used to direct the viewers attention to the subject of your photograph. These lines can be straight, diagonal, wavy, or any other creative variation.

They may also lead away from the photography subject.



Strong diagonal:
 Out of all the lines used in photography, diagonals are the most dynamic.

You can use them to create a strong impression of movement or you can use them to create a tremendous sense of depth.

All images are created with lines, some vertical, horizontal and others converging but knowing how to place them affects the mood and composition of the final image.


Point of view:
Point of view in photography means the position from which the camera sees the scene. Are you looking down on the subject? Are you looking up at the subject? How close are you to the subject? Is there anything between you and the subject? Every decision you make about point of view will change how your viewer sees the photo.

Framing:
Framing is when the background an image is broken up by a frame within the image. This could be and image of scenery taken from inside through a window, broken up by a window frame.

Filling the frame:Filling the frame in is when the image you have taken takes up the whole frame. Photographers get in very close to whatever they are taking. They do this to make a significant portion of the photograph the final photograph.
















Active space:
Active space is when the photographer gives space for the subject to move into a space. Some people call the space in front of the subject Active space and some call the space behind the subject dead space.
