After examining the work of several NYC photographers for
style and subject matter, take 5 photographs of your New York City that
demonstrate your own relationship to the city.
For each photograph try to use one of the following techniques/terms
when planning the photo.
PHOTO COMOPOSITION
TERMS:
(Or – how to sound
smart when looking at art)
Composition – how
the image is set up (for example, what is in the foreground, middle-ground,
background), what you choose to put in the frame
Foreground – What
is in the front of the photograph
Background – What
is in the back of the photograph
Frame – The borders
of the shot. The frame dictates what you
include or exclude in your shot.
Juxtaposition –
Setting one item in your frame next to another to highlight their differences
(example: old and new, tall and short, light and dark)
Contrast – The
lights and darks in your shot (example: shadow and light, light building next
to a dark one)
Angle – Taking the
photo from above, below, to the side, a long shot, close-up or straight on to
highlight what is in the image (example, a long, lonely road from its center,
or a tall building looking up from below)
