[QUOTE="Dr Daniels, post: 48525, member: 9097"] Yes, we should strive for balance in our composition as much as possible. Another 'basic' design element that we don't always hear about in photographic circles is contrasts. The Bauhaus School of Art focus heavily on this concept for composing an image. This theory of composition includes: contrast between light and dark (chiaroscuro), between shapes, colors, and even sensations. A classic exercise to develop that feel for contrasts when composing photographs would be to produce pairs of photographs that contrast with each other. In other words, creating a diptych with one image contrasting with the other. More demanding but more valuable is to combine the two poles of the contrast in one photograph. I think it is an interesting exercise to foster our imagination, our creativity. [/QUOTE]
