DIRECTION: Observe the given picture.
Explain the characteristics of the photo.
You may write your observation on your
notebook in 3 minutes.
Interesting Foreground
- it is the portion of the frame
that is closest to the camera.
The foreground space in an
image can be utilized to draw
attention to a subject located
further into the frame, for
example with leading lines, or
it can be used to frame the
subject.
o By definition, the foreground is the part of a view that’s closest
to the observer. As a photography term, it’s the part of the view
that’s closest to the camera.

o Understanding and controlling the foreground elements in a

photo can deliver intense compositions and narrative.

o A photo that has strong foreground elements is more appealing

to the viewer. It can be a core focal point or point of interest
that pulls the viewer into the image.

o When you consider that the foreground is the first thing we

observe in life and photos, it’s no wonder it’s such a vital part of
good photography.

o What’s more, foreground in a photograph provides perspective

and adds dimension to a flat physical image.
Sharpness
- a sharp photograph shows
intent and skill. There are
times that some parts of an
image are blurry or vague
but can be enhanced with
the use of neutral density
filters.
Interesting perspective
- sometimes all photographs
need to be interesting. In order
to do this. There should be a
change of perspective. A shot
taken from a few inches from
the ground or under the
subject, something which is
not usually seen can produce
great images
Good lighting
- not under or over exposed is too obvious. A
photographer knows how to really work with
light which can help create some truly
stunning images. Some rules are meant to be
broken and lighting is one of them.
Symmetry
- it is the quality of being made
up of exactly similar parts
facing each other or around an
axis. It can play tricks in our
brain and when used properly
in photography, it creates
interesting photographs.
Photographs of architecture
often use symmetry.
Shadows
- it gives depth to two-
dimensional images or just
interesting composition
builders.
Contrast
- is the visual ratio of
different tones in an
image. This difference is
what creates the textures,
highlights, shadows, colors
and clarity in a
photograph.
Human Interest
- Candid shots stand out. It is
better to see photos with the
subject who isn’t reacting to
the camera but instead, living
their life.
Isolation
- it is the ability to draw
the viewer’s attention
away from anything
distracting in the image
and lead them right to the
main subject.
