WHAT IS PHOTOGRAPHY
01

• Photography is the art, application, and practice
  of creating durable images by recording light,
  either electronically by means of an image
  sensor, or chemically by means of a
  light-sensitive material such as photographic
  film. It is employed in many fields of science,
  manufacturing (e.g., photolithography), and
  business, as well as its more direct uses for
  art, film and video production, recreational
  purposes, hobby, and mass communication.

6
OBJECTS

• The first six elements of composition are simply
  different types of objects you may find in a
  photo, ranging from simple to complex. These
  elements do not depend on anything else in a
  photo, or upon the borders of your composition
  itself. Every object in your photograph exhibits
  these characteristics to a degree, sometimes
  obviously and sometimes hidden.

7
POINTS

• The simplest element of composition is a point.

8
LINES

• In contrast to points, which draw a viewers
  attention, lines are more like a path for a
  viewer to follow.

9
SHAPES

• Considered to be the two-dimensional appearance
  of objects as your camera captures them.

10
TEXTURE

• It is the visual depiction of variations in the
  color, shape, and depth of an object's surface.

11
COLOR

• It is a component of light that is separated
  when it is reflected off of an object.

12
TONE

• Tone refers to the levels of brightness in the
  photograph, from solid black to pure white.

13
RELATIONSHIPS

• The other elements of composition fall under a
  different category relationships. Rather than
  applying to individual objects in a photo, the
  four elements below are all about how the
  different parts of a photo interact.

14
DISTANCE

• Distance to subject refers to the length between
  the camera and the focus of the image.

15
BALANCE

• Balance is a composition technique that arranges
  elements within the frame to achieve equal visual
  weight across the image.

16
SPACE

• The rule of space relates to the direction the
  subject of the photograph is moving in, or even
  just looking in.

17
PATTERNS

• Pattern in Photography is a regularity within a
  scene. It's elements of the scene that repeat
  themselves in a predictable way.
