Description

The success of a photograph depends on more than it subject. For big impact; the photographer must finesse every visual element at their disposal to communicate with the viewer. In the right hands; lines (horizontal; vertical; diagonal; curving; radiating; and converging) draw viewersrsquo; eyes through the frame in a predictable manner. Color creates a dynamic rhythm or a balance. Depth of field (the area of sharp focus in the image) tells the viewer what is important in the image—where it is that the eye should settle. Of course; even the positioning of the various elements in the scene (the subject; image color; points of strong tonal contrast; and more) help to establish impact.In this book; Chen describes the compositional “rulesrdquo; artists have used for centuries to create high-impact work. With each discussion; images are presented that clearly show how the design strategy was used and how it strengthened the photograph
