Composition and framing


Framing and symmetry

This is just a picture example of two different subjects within photojournalism that I will speak about further down the page.
 







leading lines

These are an important role in composition,
they can be used in a variety of ways.

Diagonal lines are dynamic.
        Lines can be used to lead the viewer
    Unsurprisingly, these are called leading lines.
    


Framing  

This can be used to help give subjects more
       interest, by using the depth.
      By placing foreground elements around the
      edge of the frame, we create a border,
      enhancing the look of subjects.

      If we can incorporate geometric shapes into
      images, this can also invoke interest.
      Another element of balance is the use of
     Symmetrical balance

Rule of thirds 
This is a simple method that splits the frame
       into thirds horizontally and vertically.
By placing objects within the intersecting
       points, it allows for a more visually stimulating
       Image
       It should also be used as a guideline for the
       horizon.
       You can use the rule of thirds to help place
       foreground, middle ground and background.

 

Symmetry

Symmetry is something described in parallel. In 
 photography it conveys balance and proportion. It is a form of pattern that is often associated with perfection and illustrates spatial awareness, often through reflection and rotation.
