Frame and Composition: Activity 4

Frame and Composition: Activity 4

Q: Collect one image where the photographer has placed the main subject off center and retained a sense of balance and one image where the photographer has placed the main subject off center and created a sense of imbalance. Discuss the possible intentions of the photographer in creating each image. Create four images, placing the focal point and/or visual weight in different areas of the frame. Discuss whether each image is balanced.

In this photo, the photographer has placed the subject (the person doing yoga) off to the right, but has still maintained a sense of balance. The picture is still balanced because the ocean and the sun are just as interesting as the person, and draws your eye just as much.

This photo is not balanced, however because the subject (the lone tree) is overpowered by the gold grass, and the tree is not immediately noticed. 


This is one of the photos I took in Payson, AZ. I tried making it balanced by putting two subjects (the trail post and my sister) on opposite sides of the frame.


With this image, I tried to put the visual interest on the in-focus rock on the right side, so that someone might not initially notice the girl peeking out from the tunnel behind it.


In this photo I tried to place visual interest in different areas of the frame. I put two cacti in the left side of the frame, however it is the bright sun in the right side of the frame that catches your attention first. 

I tried to create horizontal visual balance in this photo. The mountains and highway overpass in the top half of the photo balance out the rock and wood fence in the bottom half. Leading lines in also present in the picture.
