Composition:
Photography brings a visual language that is universal in understanding. We must then understand its vocabulary which consists of shapes, textures, patterns, lines, colours, shade of light to dark and sharp to blurry images. Just as we must learn to arrange words in a coherent order in order to make sense when we write or speak, so too must we put visual elements together in an organized manner if our photographs are to convey their meaning clearly and vividly.
Composition means arrangement: the orderly putting together of parts to make a unified whole; composition through a personal, intuitive act. However, there are basic principles that govern the way visual elements behave and interact when you combine them inside the four borders of a photograph. Once we have sharpened our vision and grasped these basic ideas of principles, then we will have the potential for making our photographs more exciting and effective than ever before.
In Photoshop:
I had to manipulate an image for a practical lesson, I had to take a poster from a film and put a man on the water of the poster and make his reflection in the water. We where then asked to remove some text from the bottom of the page. After colour correction and a few minutes playing with the image this is what I came up with. Above is the image before we had to change it and below is the image after all the changes where made.
