Leading Lines
Lines guide the viewer through the frame, through the scene from or to a subject - or both. Lines are a powerful tool in all visual arts, they guide the audience in the specific direction that was intended by the artist. Use leading lines to your advantage in creating a visually engaging piece of art. The more the audience can interact with your photos, the more intriguing they are. |
Lighting and Mood
Using natural and artificial lighting in your photos is vital to creating your intended mood. You can manipulate the light you are using for a specific purpose - and you should! You can take the same subject and photograph it in different weather, different times of day, with different artificial light sources and each will create a different mood. Good photography should carry meaning and have a story. Use lighting to your advantage in creating these narratives. |
