Week 2- Theoretical Knowledge And Inspirational Photographers

What makes a Composition Pleasing?

Having a source of composition within a photograph pleases the viewers eyes as the photograph is arranged in an equal and calming manner, if composition wasn’t used within the photograph, it may portray a messy presentation that may dissatisfy the viewer.

In the Studio is a series dedicated to the photographic documentation of artists within their workspaces. Over more than seven decades Magnum’s member-photographers have captured images of the inner sanctums of many artists, often forging long-standing working or creative partnerships with them in the process. The images made in the studios of artists, in the company of their creatively imposing occupiers, reveal everything from insights on techniques and fabrication processes to illuminating clutter, reassuringly normal mess, and hints at the personal lives of individuals beyond their well-known artistic output.

I chose this photo from Rene Burri, a photo of a girl standing on a table, placed in the middle of the scene. The photo used the rule of thirds, by putting the Girl in the middle of the photo. By using a plain and clear room as a background emphasises the girl, giving her more attention, and making her the center of attention within the photograph.

I chose this photo because it narrated a story, it also stood up as a statement to me. I also loved the techniques Burri used to create a story.
