Elements and principles of Photography
Leading Lines- refers to a composition technique whereby the viewer's eye is attracted to lines that lead directly to the principle subject in the images.
Vertical Lines- a line perpendicular to a surface or to another line.
Horizontal Lines- There’s something about a horizontal line in an image that conveys a message of ‘stability’ or even ‘rest’.
Diagonal Lines- a diagonal is a line segment joining any two non-consecutive vertices.
Curved Lines- a curve is a part of a curve that is bounded by two distinct end points and contains every point on the curve between its end points.
Symmetrical Balance- One side balances or mirrors the other separated by a vertical line.
Asymmeritcal Balance- It is normally off-center or created with an odd or mismatched number of disparate elements.
Unity- Unity occurs when all of the elements of a piece combine to make a balanced, harmonious, complete whole.
Variety- Variety means "to change the character" of an element, to make it different.
Birds Eye View- a general view from above, or as if from above.
Worms Eye View- A view as if seen from below.
Horizon Line- horizon is defined as the horizontal line through P. The point P is the vanishing point of lines perpendicular to the picture.
Vertical Lines- a line perpendicular to a surface or to another line.

Unity- Unity occurs when all of the elements of a piece combine to make a balanced, harmonious, complete whole.
Variety- Variety means "to change the character" of an element, to make it different.
Movement/Ryhthem- Movement adds excitement to your work by showing action and directing the viewers eye throughout the picture plane.
Rhythm is a type of movement in drawing and painting. It is seen in repeating of shapes and colors.
Emphasis- Emphasis is defined as an area or object within the artwork that draws attention and becomes a focal point.
Proportion/scale- Scale refers to the size of an object (a whole) in relationship to another object (another whole). Proportion refers to the relative size of parts of a whole (elements within an object).
Repetition/Pattern- Repeating visual elements such as line, color, shape, texture, value or image tends to unify the total effect of a work of art as well as create rhythm.Pattern is a combination of elements or shapes repeated in a recurring and regular arrangement.
Birds Eye View- a general view from above, or as if from above.
Worms Eye View- A view as if seen from below.
Horizon Line- horizon is defined as the horizontal line through P. The point P is the vanishing point of lines perpendicular to the picture.
- Rule of Thirds- The rule of thirds is a powerful compositional technique for making photos more interesting and dynamic.
Framing-Framing, especially in the photographic arts, is primarily concerned with the position and perspective of the viewer.
Simplicity- An example of simplicity; focus is on the flowers, without any background clutter.
Texture-the feel, appearance, or consistency of a surface or a substance.
