Photography powerpoint

-Find a different angle
You can tell that the person taking the picture is in different angles. Sometimes he is down up or in the side.

-The rule of thirds
On the pictures in the powerpoint the rule of thirds is mainly on the side of the grid. Since the grid is divided into 3 parts the subject is mainly in the side.

-Leading Lines
In the pictures containing leading lines they are all focused on a single direction that sort of creates a line a sort of path.

-Framing
Framing is when your subject is surrounded by something already inside your shot it creates a frame for your subject. 

-The 3 pictures I like the best
1. The guy playing baseball
What really makes this picture work is that the photographer used unusual angle to take this picture so the player is on the ground it really works because you can see the dust at the bottom of the picture.
2. What makes this photo is that the photographer used fill the frame so th esubject of the picture is touching the four sides of this photo and he also captures the sense of emotion of these 2 girls.
3. What makes this picture work is that the photographer used leading lines but I think he kind of used rules of thirds also. This photo also works because of the lighting.

Examples of Negative Space





What is negative space?

Negative space is sort of a technique that is used in photography to make the pictures more interesting. Negative space is referred as the space that surrounds the main object. It usually is clear and really emphasizes the main object of whatever you are taking a picture of.
