Rule of Thirds:

   

These two photos are taken with the rule of thirds, and one on the left-hand side is taken with a blue and white background that contrasts with the colour of the figure, creating horrible colour matches, also, because I used the rule of third to focus the figure as main of this photograph, the position of the figure makes the photo looks active or energetic.

The photo on the right-hand side is quite similar to the right one, as it not only uses the rule of thirds to emphasise the figure but also there are lots of techniques that are used to highlight the active and lively mood, for example, the natural factors as background and the brighter light usage underscore the mood.

Leading Lines:

 

For these two photos, it is quite obvious that there is usage of leading lines, as both of the photographs have invisible lines that head to the same spot. By intending to use the objects in the library as background to create the leading line in the first photo, I tried to create a contradicting mood as the size difference between the right side and left side of the photo is quite contradicting.

For the second photograph, I used all three primary colours: blue, yellow, and red, to emphasise the lively or active atmosphere within the photo. Not only that, but also the leading line in the photo draws a diagonal, taking important aspects as it divides the photo into two sections and the figure is in the middle of the leading line to make sure that the focus is going to be on the figure, not the red couch.

Symmetry and Patterns:

As I used the stickers in the library, I intended to create patterns with different visual techniques, such as low-angle and colour matches with stickers and my figure. By using a low angle, I put a different focus from other photographs, as I didn’t put focus on any other visual factors, but in this case, I focused on the stickers or the patterns because I thought the colour matches were interesting and creating some sort of calm mood that made the overall tone of this photograph.

Framing:

In these two photographs, I used composition: framing to create a sense of isolation of the figure and draw attention to it.

Negative Space:

In this photograph, I tried to use negative space as I composted some empty space in my composition around the figure, and this created a sense of balance and gave the figure room to breathe. Moreover, the tone of this photograph’s tone is quite depressing or dark, as I used a lower ISO compared to other photos and this intention matches with the negative space, creating a sort of depressing mood in this photograph.

Balance:

Through homaging famous anime poster, I used visual and conceptual balance by putting the figure in the middle of the photo and not putting too much weight on both up or bottom sides of the image. Not only for that but also the usage of natural factors as background and high ISO, I created an energetic or lively mood in the photo.

Perspective:

By using extremely low angles, I used perspective to create unique and interesting compositions as there are lots of other visual factors like reflection and usage of other visual factors( like the clear plastic ball).
