Photo Techniques

  • Simplicity
The subject is clear, as it is one of the twin towers that collapsed on 9/11, the background isn't busy. The background is a solid color so the building can stand with visual prominence.






  • The Rule of Thirds

The subject is placed off center, using the  rule of thirds grid.






  • Lines
The lines provide a way for the viewers to follow the subject. I this case the buildings lines help the subject pop from the rest of the picture.





  • Balance
Balance in this picture is evident because the left and rights side are drawn equally to our eyes.










  • Framing
Framing is to frame the subject with an other object to give the subject depth. In this picture the bridge frames the 9/11 scene giving the picture more depth.



  • Avoiding Mergers
This picture has a border merger, because it cuts people off in the border of the picture. This picture is caused by poor alignment in the viewpoint of the photographer.


  • Symme Patterns (repetition)
    • The patterns on the road and the symmetrical sign appeal the viewers. Keeping the subject symmetric is a good technique to improve composition.


    • Viewpoint
    This photo is taken from high above, the viewpoint of the photograph changes and conveys a stronger message. The viewpoint in the second picture is also higher, which also affects the message.




























    • Create Depth
    The depth is created by putting the smoke in the background. The human eye thinks of the smoke and the building as a figure with depth which inputs more depth and 3-dimension in the picture.





    • Cropping
    The main subject is so small, the picture was cropped to avoid the background "noise", this ensures that the viewers get the subjects undivided attention.
