Frame & Composition: Activity 4

Blog Entry
Collect one image where the photographer has placed the main subject off center and retained a sense of balance and one image where the photographer has placed the main subject off center and created a sense of imbalance. 
Discuss the possible intentions of the photographer in creating each image.

•This photo gives the best description of  visual weight. Even though the horses are set to the left of the image the horses are defined more then the background. 

Create four images, placing the focal point and/or visual weight in different areas of the frame. Discuss whether each image is balanced.

This image would be a photo that the visual weight is clustered. The eye is not really free to roam around in the photo since there is so much to look at in the image, from the different building, to the water, and the boat.

The image to the right is a good example of visual weight. The eyes is drawn to the man in the water where he is surrounded by the ocean and the city is far in distance.


The picture on the bottom, it is also a great example for visual weight and focal point. The main focus is on the flower, the viewers eyes is not all around the image it is directed straight to the flower.

 This image examples visual weight. Right away the eye is directed to the boat, but if you notice that the main subject (the boat) is to the right of the image rather than the center of the image.
