Framing & Space
what is Dividing the frame into a 3x3 grid and place the subject along the lines or at intersections
Rule Of Thirds
Neutral, natural, honest
Eye Level
Less light, image darker
Smaller opening
What part of the exposure triangle controls the light through the lens
Aperture
different but balanced — dynamic
ASYMMETRICAL
What is - Arrange key elements around a spiral or proportional structure. It can create a refined, organic sense of flow that gently leads the viewers eye.
Golden Ratio
Subject looks small/vulnerable
High Angle
More light enters, image brighter
Bigger opening
Surface quality — rough, smooth, bumpy.
Texture
elements radiate from center point
RADIAL
What is Leave empty space around the subject to isolate is and give it room to breathe.
Negative Space
Extreme wide - establishes location/scale
EWS
What does a lower ISO do?
darker , cleaner/sharper
Hue, saturation, value combined. Evokes
mood. Warm=energetic; Cool=calm. The
basis of all color theory.
Color
Distribution of visual weight — Symmetrical,
Asymmetrical, or Radial.
BALANCE
Move closer or crop tightly so the subject dominates the image and makes expression more powerful
Fill The frame
Subject looks strong/dominant
Low Angle
What does a higher ISO do?
brighter, more grain/noise
subject. Negative space
Positive space
Leave space in front of a moving subject or in the direction they are looking
Rule of space
Directly above- abstract, map-like
Bird Eye
What element of the exposure triangle affects image quality
ISO
mirror image — formal, stable
SYMMETRICAL
