Photojournalism

This image taken by Tim Carrafa represents Photojournalism. Photojournalism is a way of a photographer being able to assist a journalist or even themselves in writing a article by providing an image that the reader can look at to help make the story have more meaning and make more sense. For example this image was taken in the 2009 AFL Grand Final and the article that was written by Tim Carrafa was accompanied by this image to show the premiers and the excitement they shows on the day.

Asymmetrical Placement

This image taken by Mark Simmons, represents Asymmetitcal placement . Asymmetitcal placement  is an image where the objects have been placed off centre so the eye travels around the image and is taking in all the information around it. In this example we can see there has been a traumatic event in the background and the two people hugging have been effected by what they have seen.  The image could also be classified as a MS image.

Art

This image of the Graffiti lanes in Melbourne, shows the composition of Art. In a way that the photographer has taken one piece of art and included it into another piece of art. The graffiti lanes would also be part of Rule of Thirds and Vertical line composition. Dividing the image into Vertical thirds would be showing the art on each of the walls and the Vertical line aspect makes the eye travel all the way along to the end of it.

Rhythm

This image of Dolphins taken by unknown, is a good example of a Rhythm photograph. It is a repeated motif that leads the eye around the image. In this particular image our eye travels with the dolphin so we see where it might go and then again with the next dolphin. This would also be a closed format image as there has been no cropping used so we get to see the entire image.

Environmental Portrait

This image of Calvin Cambridge is showing Environmental Portrait, because it is showing him in his natural comfortable environment on the basketball court. Environmental Portraits are the best way to show who a person really is. This image would also be a MS shot because we dont see his whole body only part of it.

Closed Format Cropping

This image shows Closed Format Cropping, in a way that you see the entire tree and the image does not just focus on specifics. Closed Format Cropping is used so you get all information that is provided. This image also falls under the composition Rule of Thirds because when split into vertical thirds the tree in places in the centre third and that is why is would be the main focus in this image.

Worm Eye View

This image shows the composition Worm Eye View. It is were the photographer is lower than than person or object that they are taken a photograph of. Worm eye view can make the photographer feel disempowered because they feel small. The way that they have to look up shows there is no equality in this photographer. This image could also be put under the compositing horizontal line, as we see the pedestrian crossing on the rode with White painting lines horizontally across the image.
