Why Photography? - Pet
• Record: Sometimes we photograph just to - Sports or Actions
record things. - Baby

• Document: Generally refers to images RULES AND ELEMENTS OF COMPOSITION

captured for a specific purpose. IN PHOTOGRAPHY

• Family: We have numerous reasons for The Rule of the Thirds

photographing our family.
• Beauty: The world offers us great beauty
that we want to capture in photos.
• Influence: Much of our news is seen
through the eyes of photographers. They use
their photos to influence & change things in
their own worlds.
Remember: Photography has such a sense of
reality that it helps us remember things
-A basic principle in picture composition is the rule
of thirds. Imagine that a rectangular frame is
divided by horizontal and vertical lines into thirds.
The more important elements in the frame are
placed on either the two points where the
horizontal and vertical lines intersect.
Framing the body Headroom
-When framing a person or a face, we usually put a
little space on top of the head. This is called the
headrom.

• Creativity: For some people, photography
is purely a creative medium.
• Sharing: We see wonderful parts of our
worlds & we want to share that with others.
• Business: Businesses today would be very
different without photography.
• Communication: Pictures are truly the
universal language.
• Reveal: Photographs can reveal &
illuminate all sorts of things.
• Promote: Over the years, photography has
always been used to promote points of view.
• Fun: Photography can & should be fun.
-Without headroom, it seems like the top part of the
person’s head is cut off. Meanwhile, too much
headroom makes the composition uninteresting, as
if a head without a neck is left floating at the bottom
of the frame. When framing a person’s body, make
sure that the frame does not cut the person at the
joints, or it might seem like he/she does not have
arms or legs.
Looking Space
- Put adequate space in the direction where your
subject is looking. For example, if your actor is
looking to the right, put more space on the right
side of the frame.
Walking Space
-Put more space in the direction towards where
your subject is moving. For example, if a car is
moving towards the left, you should have ample
space on the left side of the frame.
Exposure
- When we talk about “exposure,” we simply
mean the brightness or darkness of a photo. It
seems simple enough to take a photo that is
correctly exposed (has the proper brightness or
darkness), but in reality, it can be quite tricky.
Exposure uses Aperture, Shutter speed, and ISO
to create a properly exposed image.
Framing
-technique used to direct the viewer’s attention to
the primary subject of a picture.
Informal Balance
-Asymmetrical Balance. It is when one or more
dissimilar elements are balanced on each side of a
given point.
-It is less obvious because the subjects are not
uniform.
-It is more appealing to the viewer.
Silhouette
- In photography, it is defined as an outline that
appears dark against a light background.
- More specifically, it is where your subject is seen
as a black shape without detail against a brighter
background. It is a wonderful way to convey drama,
mystery, emotion & mood to the viewers.
Point of View
-the position from which the camera sees the scene.
1. Bull’s Eye View - Shooting from eye level. It can
create a stronger visual connection to a subject.
2. Worm’s Eye View - Shooting from below. It can
make the viewer feel as though the subject is in
control of a situation
3. Bird’s Eye View - Shooting from Above. It
allows the viewer to feel superior to the subject
4. Becoming the Subject - A powerful point of
view. This means that you shoot the photo from the
angle of the subject. These shots allow the viewer to
feel like they are experiencing the event first-hand.
5. Canted Angle – It is a camera angle which is
deliberately slanted to one side, sometimes used for
dramatic effect to help portray unease,
disorientation, desperate action, madness, etc.
Shot Sizes
-it refers to the dimension of the frame border that
contains the subject.
1. Extreme Close-up (ECU) - Very close to the
subject & shows immense detail. It can be used to
show emotion.
2. Close-up (CU) - Shows expression but in less
detail than ECU. A certain feature or part of the
subject takes the whole frame.
3. Medium Close-up (MCU) - Mid-chest up. It can
show facial expressions as well as body language.
4. Medium Shot (MS) - Waist up. They are not
very effective when showing facial language but are
great at capturing body language.
5. Long Shot (LS) - Whole Body. It allows the
audience to see the subject in terms of its
surroundings.
6. Extreme Long Shot (ELS) - Person &
surroundings. The subject is still visible, but the
focus is on the surroundings.
