Photo Composition Part 2/Portrait Photography Preview

PART 2
Symmetry and Pattern- Great way to use them is to break the symmetry or pattern in some way, introducing tension and focal point to the scene.
 



Viewpoint- Consider photographing from high above, down at ground level, from the side, from the back, from a long way away, from very close up, and so on.



Create Depth- By including objects in the foreground, middle ground and background.



Cropping (filling the frame)- The subject you eliminate the background "noise", ensuring gets the viewer's undivided attention.
Simplicity- Ways to give the center of interest in your pictures the most visual attention
The Rule of Thirds- You can use the rule of thirds as a guide in the off-center placement of your subjects.

This photo shows lines because of the football fields yard lines.

This photo shows balance because the patriots are close together in a huddle. 

This photo shows framing because it has Gronkowski's jersey in a photo farm with some of pictures.

This photo shows avoiding merger because it shows their jersey's merging together.



Portrait Photography Preview

1. It's important because in the portrait it offers enormous potential to extend or enhance the communication.  The environments pays a major role un revealing the identity of the individual. 

2. Where more information is required about the physical surroundings and environment, it's recommended to use their camera in either fully manual or aperture priority mode so that maximum control is maintained. 

3.  By the environments and lighting may be chosen to reflect the mood or state of mind of the subject. The path travelled could be purely coincidental or could have been chosen to represent the journey of his life.

4.  The photographer should clarify that the subject does have time for the photograph to be made and indicate that it may involve more than one image being created. Also the subject may need guidance on how to sit or stand, what they should do with their hands and where to look. 


Environmental portrait
I like that the photo is taken through the net and I picked it because it looked interesting.

I like how the sun creates a small glare in the photo and I chose this photo because I thought it was eye popping.

Casual Portrait
Reason why I chose this causal photo is because I like the polo he has on and the background seems very casual as well.






















Planning ahead
Justen and I may go to the courtyard, New Tech hallway or the Green hallway to take our portraits. We both haven't decided yet but were going to experiment at all the locations and see which location looks better. Poop

Three Pillars of Photography

Aperture- 
1.What part of the body should we closely relate aperture? The Eye

2.The smaller the aperture number, the bigger the aperture opening.

3. A small aperture number will make all background and foreground objects into focus, and a larger aperture will make the background blurry.

4.  4, 4.5, 5, 5.6, 6.3, 7.1, 8.0, 9.0, 10, 11, 13, 16, 18, 20, 22, 25

2.  Aperture Priority mode- set lens aperture with shutter speed is set my camera. 
Shutter Priority mode- you set the shutter speed while camera selects aperture.
Manual mode- Where you set both shutter speed and aperture manually.


3. (1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/8, 1/10, 1/13, 1/15, 1/20, 1/25, 1/30, 1/40, 1/50, 1/60, 1/80, 1/100, 1/125, 1/160, 1/200, 1/250, 1/320, 1/400, 1/500, 1/640, 1/800, 1/1000, 1/1250, 1/1600, 1/2000, 1/2500, 1/3200, 1/4000.)

ISO
1.  While a higher ISO number increases the sensitivity. With increased sensitivity, your camera sensor can capture images in low-light environments without having to use a flash.

2.  It's to retain the most detail and to have the highest image quality. 

3. When there is not enough light 

4. 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400, 12800

Elements of Art and Principles Design

Line- Element of art is defined by a point moving in space. Also line may be two or three dimensional, flat, or even limited to height and width.


Shape- Element of art that is two-dimensional, flat, or limited to height and width.


Form- An element of art that is three-dimensional and encloses the volume; it includes height, width AND depth. Form may also be free flowing.

Value- The lightness or the darkness of tones or colors. White is the lightest value and black is the darkest. The value halfway between these extremes is called middle gray.

Space- An element of art by which positive and negative areas are defined or a sense of depth achieved in a work of art.




Color- An element of art made up of three properties which are hue, value, and intensity. 
  • Hue: is name of color
  • Value: Hue's lightness and darkness ( a color's value changes when white or black is added)
  • Intensity: Quality of brightness and purity (high intensity= color is strong and bright; low intensity= color is a faint and dull)


 Texture: An element is art that refers to the way things feel, or look as if they might feel if touched. 




PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN
Balance- is the distribution of the visual weight of objects, objects, colors, texture, and space.



Contrast- Is created by using elements that conflict with one another. Often, contrast is created using complementary colors or extreme light and dark values. Contrast often draws the eye to certain is used to make a painting look interesting. 

Emphasis- In the focal area of a network gives it importance. An artist may strew some elements of the design over others. The viewer will focus on the area of emphasis or center of interest first, then take in the rest of the composition. 


Movement- Is a artwork means the artist is taking viewers on a trip through the work by means of lines, edges, shapes, and colors often leading to the focal area. Movement is a visual flow through the composition. 

Pattern- Is made in art when the same shapes or elements are repeated again and again. Pattern uses the elements of art in planned or random repetitions to enhance surfaces of painting or  sculptures. 


Rhythm- Is the repetition of shapes, lines, and forms. Rhythm is a movement in which some elements recurs regularly. Like a dance, it will have flow of objects that will seem to be like the beat of music.


Unity- Means that elements in an artwork are in harmony. Unity brings together a composition with similar units.
