“Formal Elements of Photography

  1. Explain what the phrase Formal Elements means in photography.The seven formal elements are commonly known as: – Line – Shape & Form – Pattern – Tone – Colour – Texture – Space
  2. Describe each of the 6 elements discussed so far (line, shape, pattern, texture, tone, focus) LineDefinition: Lines are the paths that the viewer’s eye follows in an image.

    Use: They can be straight, curved, or diagonal and can create movement, guide the viewer’s attention, or add structure to a photograph.

    1. Shape

    Definition: Shapes are formed when lines enclose a space.

    Use: They can be geometric (like squares and circles) or organic (like natural forms) and help define objects in a photo, contributing to the overall composition.

    1. Pattern

    Definition: Patterns are repeated designs or motifs in an image.

    Use: They create visual interest and can lead the viewer’s eye through the photograph, often adding rhythm and texture.

    1. Texture

    Definition: Texture refers to the surface quality of an object, how it feels or appears to feel (smooth, rough, etc.).

    Use: It can add depth and detail to a photograph, making it more engaging and inviting the viewer to imagine the tactile experience.

    1. Tone

    Definition: Tone refers to the lightness or darkness of a color in an image.

    Use: It helps create mood and atmosphere, affecting how we perceive the subject and the overall emotional impact of the photograph.

    1. Focus

    Definition: Focus determines which parts of an image are sharp and clear compared to those that are blurred.

    Use: It directs the viewer’s attention to specific elements, helping to convey the main subject or idea of the photograph.

  3. Give an example that emphasizes each element (you can use your own image or an image from somebody else – but it must be cited!)
  4. Can an image show just one element at a time? Justify your answer. Line is the main focus.
