8 rules of composition

Image
Rule of thirds-         image divided equally(horizontal and vertical)into a grid 3X3 and the main subject if the image is placed on the eft or the right of the image. Leading lines- used to draw the viewers into the photo and lead them through, showing a visual payoff. Cropping- removing the unwanted parts of the image to focus the viewers on the main subject. Framing- composing a picture, focusing the viewer on a main object of the photograph without cropping any excess areas out. Distance of the object in the image. Depth- How much of your image is in focus,  for example is the main object in focus and the background blurred. Background control- what the background looks like, eg pleasing pattern or a solid colour from the scene.  Point of view- the position at which the camera is when taking the photos. Horizontal line- a straight line that runs from the left side of the frame to the right.

Making a photogram

Process of making a photogram- set up enlarger and four different tubs along sides and pour different chemicals in them. Place developer in the first tube, stop bath in second, fixer in the next and cold water in the last one. Man Ray Man Ray  (born  Emmanuel Radnitzky ; August 27, 1890 – November 18, 1976) was an American visual artist who spent most of his career in Paris. He was a significant contributor to the Dada and Surrealist movements, although his ties to each were informal. He produced major works in a variety of media but considered himself a painter above all. He was best known for his pioneering photography, and was a renowned fashion and portrait photographer. He is also noted for his work with photograms, which he called "rayographs" in reference to himself.
