So many elements from the ‘Artist Palette’ in this photo.
I love to showcase the photos from my online class with the PPSOP, and my “Stretching Your Frame of Mind” workshops I conduct around the world.
My online class is four weeks in length, and my workshops range from one week to twelve days. In both cases I show my fellow photographers how to incorporate the Elements of Visual Design into their imagery. Since my background is in Art rather than photography, I studied these elements for the majority of my academic career, and afterwards I made them a part of my photographer career as a advertising and corporate photographer. To me I still considered myself an artist, I merely changed the medium from a paintbrush to a camera; everything still applies.
In each of these photos shown in this slideshow, the basic elements of both design and composition are present in some form or another: Negative Space, Texture, Pattern, Shape, Form, Line, Light and Color. You’ll also see a Vanishing Point, Silhouettes, and Shadows which are also important in taking your imagery what I refer to as “up a notch”.
Enjoy the show:
