Photography Composition

 
 
 
Framing

Framing: when the main subject is portrayed through a “framed” background.

Framing is a technique used by photographers that creates the illusion of depth and draws the viewer's eye to a focal point of interest. Focusing the viewer's attention on the main subject by photographing through another object as the background, in this case the 6 girls are being shown through this bridges’ gate as the frame.
 
Silhouette
 

Silhouette: being in front of sunset usually to make the subject dark.

A photograph that displays a silhouette must consist of some light usually a sunset in back of a person or object. This will virtually make the person or object standing in front of the sunset/light darker so that you only see the outline of the person. In this photograph the girl is standing in front of the sunset and is completely dark, where we can only see her outline.
Distance ( Medium )
 

Distance: determines depth of picture or how close or far away and object is away from the Photographer. In this case medium.
Distance creates depth and volume to many pictures and images that are taken in photography. In this picture we can tell that the end of the couch where the bird cage is at is neither close nor far to the viewer’s eye. Therefore, this image portrays what is said to be a medium distance. 
Informal Balance
Informal Balance: when elements are portrayed unevenly in a piece and asymmetrical.
Informal or "asymmetrical" Balance is uneven balance. The objects have nearly the same "visual weight" on either side of the vertical center of the photograph, but are different in size or shape. This picture of a short girl and a tall girl shows the elements of being different in shape and size. This image is also asymmetrical because neither side is equal.
 
Rhythm

Rhythm: repetitive patterns that create the feeling of highlight or intensity.
This image portrays rhythm, which is essentially a pattern or repeating objects. Rhythm is when objects maintain a repetitive pattern in a picture creating a feeling of depth or emphasis. In this image this balcony exposes the repeating pattern of mini-pillars. The balcony follows the same sequence over and over.
