Element
The Call: Linear Elements — Jessica
Along with Call and Response, I am working on a Lensbaby-focused 365. It’s a Facebook group that I joined on a whim right before the new year. Why? I’m not sure — just felt the need to pull the Lensbabies out more? Because I need one more headache in my life? Yeah, who knows what sucked me in.
I find myself using my iphone lens (the LM-10) more than any other — probably because I’m being lazy and getting slightly bored with it all. So today, I decided to change the focus of it. You know that I’m thinking through abstraction in photography. That being said, the elements of design and composition still have an important (if not even more important) role to play. So, for the rest of the year, I am going to focus each month on a separate element of design. For February, I’ll start with “Line.” Good thing it’s a short month!
What about the other months? Here’s a schedule (because you know, I do kinda like them).
March: a single point
April: Balance
Mary: Vector
June: Curve
July: Rhythm
August: Focus
September: Color
October: Light
November: Contrast
December: Pattern
By the way, this list is pulled together from my favorite composition book, Michael Freeman’s The Photographer’s Eye.
A bit of a challenge, right?
