Pictorial Lines


For this project, we took pictures with pictorial lines running through them. There are three types of this type of composition Arrangement, Decorative and Lines that lead to the subject. Arrangement means that the lines that make up the photos if they are taken away the photo will not be of anything and the lines make up the photo. Decorative means that the lines don't make up the photos but it is just lines on the photograph.  Lines that lead to the photo are lines in the photograph that are leading to a subject. But unlike leading lines, they can go from right to left and not necessarily create depth.

Multi Frame Storytelling

Multi-frame storytelling For each frame I wanted them to be individually strong and for the entire series to be cohesive.

Composition

Triangular composition is a way of organizing a picture in ways that the frame is divided into a triangle. A famous example of this is the Mona Lisa the picture is arranged in a way that the head and shoulders appear to be triangular. In these photos, you should look for elements that hint at being triangular.  The one-thirds composition is when the picture is arranged with the focus being on one-third of the frame while the other two frames are blank or not the main focus. When viewing these images look for the two vacant frames. diagonal composition is when one line or two crosses the frame separating it into two or more sides. This results in the frame tending toward more diagonal and if you squint your eyes the photo appears to move or slide diagonally.

Richard Avedon

For this set of photos, I was tasked with taking photos that followed the style of popular photographer Richard Avedon. These styles include a square photo and the photo being square. However, the main part of his photography is the amount of emotion that is conveyed without using the rest of your face. For example, a smile can convey emotion quite easily but it is harder trying to keep your face blank and still be able to make the emotions clear.
