Composition Assignment #2

For this assignment, I was required to take pictures of the other five composition elements. The other five elements are "Color, Balance, Perspective, Framing, and Space".
Space: For space I took a picture of a bear shaped cookie cutter on a blue background. The bear was the only focus point in the image, so it had room to breathe, which made it look really neat.
Framing: For this picture, I had one of my friends stand behind a glass door (in the window frame), and the frame of the actual door surrounded her face, which created a frame.
Perspective: Perspective is such a fun element to take a photograph of. I held my acoustic guitar upright underneath a light. I started from the bottom of the guitar and shot up towards the neck, this created a nice view of the guitar.
Balance: For balance I took a picture of a chick stuffed animal with a pair of sunglasses not the far away from it. This created two focus points. Also known as balance.
Color: Color is such an interesting element of composition. I took a picture of a seashell with a yellow background behind it.
From this assignment I learned how to notice different structures and colors, and that a picture doesn't have to represent one thing.
