Photographic Perspectives
Photographic Elements
Balance
These photos represent balance. I chose to explore this element because I liked that these balance photos cover the entire frame. I approached this element by arranging the shoes and pom-poms so that the frame was completely covered in a spread out, stable manner. I feel this element added a very organized feel to my pictures.
Emphasis
These photos represent emphasis. I chose to use emphasis in my photos because I felt it really draws the eye to a particular source of the photo, in this case the shoe. I approached emphasis by placing the right shoe more in front and the left shoe and pom-poms in back. I think emphasis really altered my photos in a good way because the shoe's emphasis changes where the eye first looks.
Lighting
The third element I chose was lighting. I chose lighting because I think it adds another dimension to the photos. I approached this by casting shadows over the shoes and pom-poms. I feel that lighting had quite an effect on the photos. The lighting and shadows more original and added a "sunset"-feel.
Texture
The last element I chose to explore was texture. I chose texture because I think it is a more "artsy" form of photography and like how different the pictures turn out. I approached this by getting real up close and personal while taking the shots. Texture affected my image in a drastic way, by seeing the shoes up close one can see lots of detail such as the ridges in the laces or crinkles in the pom-poms.
