Designing the Picture Space
Designing the picture space is a good section to know. It is fairly difficult to play by all of the rules but it is also very important to know and understand all of the rules. It is a learning experience going through all of the elements and trying to figure out what I could change about my own work. I chose a picture of my little cousin to show how I chose to design the space.
She was wearing the cool tones that don't attract as much attention as the yellow and orange leaves but I felt she was a large enough part of the shot that she would receive attention. I placed her on the right line of thirds and her head as close to the top third line as I could. This places her head in an intersecting line and as I have learned it's a good spot for a point of interest. In addition to these things I have left the road in the picture. Roads are elements that help carry your eye through the picture. I feel in this shot it carries the viewer's eye around and helps them to wonder where she is coming from with such a grin on her face.
