Photography: Elements and Principles

Elements and Principles of Art in Photography

There are many building blocks towards the elements of art. It is important to understand all types of art forms. Today, I will discuss only three of them Line, Space, and Texture. It is very important to understand these three basic building blocks. Why? As you can see here in these beautiful pictures, they can make a huge difference, capturing something wondrous.  It is all about detail and more details.

There are many factors in photography; especially when it is artistic photography.

Lines

• A mark with length and direction.
• A continuous mark made on a surface by a moving point.  

Space

• The distance or area between, around, above, below or within things.
• Foreground, Middle ground and background (create DEPTH).

Positive Space -(filled with something) and Negative (empty areas)

Texture

• The surface quality or “feel” of an object, its smoothness, roughness, softness, etc. Textures may be actual or implied.
