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.

One to One View

This image of Kendall Jenner, taken by Dee Cercone represents One to One POV. Both the photographer and the person being photographed are on the same level and that shows equal communication. A straight on image taken from any angle, is the best way to show equality.  This image could also be put in the category Rule of Thirds, because she is in the middle of the frame, or the centre third.

Birds Eye View

This image taken by Yann Arthus-Bertrand is perfect example of a Birds Eye View photograph of the man made island in Dubai. This image really lets you capture the whole effect of the island and lets you see it all in one image. Birds eye photography really communicated the power of the photographer to the audience and shows that they have the power to be the bigger person. The way they get to look down at what they are taken the photograph of is really empowering.

Pattern

This image of a Zebra taken by Hesham Alhumaid is a perfect representation of a Pattern composition image. The striped of the zebra are the perfect pattern and the eyes of the animal drag you in to look closer and to focus on each individual strip. The way the photographer has blurred the image around the head of the zebra works really well with this pattern and makes it more clear as to what the image is. This image would also be a One to One POV image as it seems it was a close up shot of the Zebra.

Nature

This image taken by an unknown photographer is a perfect example of an Nature image. The foliage of the trees really brighten up the image and seeing the red leaves that have fallen from the tree and are on the ground show that this image was during the change of season. Also the way the road catches and drags your eye away, shows this image was taken from just the right angle.

Landscape

This is a Landscape image taken by Jaime Paterson. Landscape photography is shown in this image because the image is not focused on one particular part, it is a wide spread image that is looking out as far as the eye can see. Landscape photography also fits in with Rule of Thirds photography in a way that if you split this image into horizontal thirds the horizon of the water and the sky meets almost exactly at the bottom of the first thirds and the rock is situated in the middle third etc.

Open Format Cropping

This image captured by an unknown, is an example of Open Format Cropping. The photographer has had a wider image and decided to crop and just focus of the specifics of the eye. The colour stands out very clearly and the neatness of the eyelashes is always perfection. This image could also be a One to One POV image because it is very up close and personal.

Rule of Thirds

This image captured by Andy Farrer, is a great example of the image composition Rule of Thirds. The image reflects a Edge of Frame composition as well if you split the image into vertical thirds you see that the main focus of the image with is the pier falls into the far left third. That draws the attention of the audience straight to it.

Portrait

This is a Portrait image of Kylie Jenner that was captured by Nick Saglimbeni. Portraiture photography can really capture the emotion in someones face. Being so up close you can really see the expression on her face. This is also a MCU image that could also be classified as a central placement image.

Diagonal Line

This image taken by Heather Pickard is representing Diagonal Line photography as we look at this image and see the turtle crawling diagonally up on the rock, our eye travels along to see where he might be going. This image also falls under the "rule of thirds" compositional type as the turtle has been placed in the middle diagonal third of the picture.

Vertical Line

This image has captured the Vertical line aspect in a landscape picture. The way it drags the eye upwards from the buildings below to the top of the Empire State Building is showing the vertical aspect brilliantly. This image also falls under the "rule of thirds" compositional type as the Empire State Building has been placed in the middle vertical third of the picture.

Edge of Frame

This image taken by myself demonstrates Edge of Frame because the focus of the image isnt in the centre, so it draws the eyes away to the bottom of the picture looking at the pool etc. Edge of Frame pictures are used when the photographer wants to dragged the eyes away from the centre and focus on the detail around the frame which would normally get overlooked at just a usual picture that was taken.

Horizontal Line

This image taken by Ansel Adams is a representation of a horizontal line shot where we look out into the distance and see a line that is separating the mountains from the rocks. The black, white and grey effect that has been used in this image is quite appealing to the eye and we see the sun shinning through the clouds seems to brighten up the image. This image also falls under the "rule of thirds" compositional type as the mountain has been placed in the top third of the picture.

Central Placement

This image demonstrates central placement as they have been positioned in the middle of the image. Due to the contrast between the colour of the background and the silhouette outline of the figures, attention is instantly drawn to the centre of the image where they have been placed. This image also falls under the "rule of thirds" compositional type as the person has been placed in the middle third of the picture.
