The Visual Qualities of Good Photography
- remember Arthur Klass?
- Focus
- if you are trying to show the subject, make sure it’s in focus
- a typical start for marking
- bad focus comes from low lighting and distance from subject
- smart phone has autofocus - choose carefully
- Lighting
- where the highlights are is where the lights are - opposing area is shadow
- there are two styles of lighting we will think about
- a) naturalistic - sunlight, typical, we see it everyday and it’s “normal”
- b) expressionistic - more emotional, designed and chosen or built by lighting kits
- Angles and Focal Length
- angle is the horizontal orientation
- angle is also on the subject
- the orientation of the subject IN the frame
- long, medium, close
- Balance
- the layout of “things” within the frame
- subject, BG, FG, etc
- Dynamic Line
- angles and diagonal action, lines and energy in a frame
