Definitions


Line: a basic element in photography, which can be used both for artistic and organizing functions. Used to create borders or dividers in a frame, which can help to enhance the quality of the image.

Shape: another basic element in a photo that is a two-dimensional image. With proper lighting and structure, a shape can become a form (a three-dimensional) and create a better view.

Color: In an image, colors are the natural rays of light that are viewed in the frame. With lighting adjustments and editing, an image can have natural color, neutral colors, or even unnatural fluorescent colors.

Value: the level of brightness of pixels or colors in a frame

Volume/form balance: the way elements, whether they be colors, shapes, or lines, in a picture that create a well working image with evenness (harmony).

Harmony: the overall balance of the image, that creates a sort of unity between the objects in a picture.

Contrast:  the range in brightness in an image. The higher the contrast, the brighter it becomes.

Movement:  the way the viewers eyes move in a photo. It can be along lines or even through colors.

Rhythm: a consistent movement through out a photo. As if it were a beat, these movements create a continuous flow in a photo

Texture: describe the way a 3D work actually feels when touched, or the feel of a 2D piece of art

Balance: a secondary point of interest that counters the main focus to create harmony through the picture
