Academic Photo Composition

SIMPLICITY

What makes simplicity applied to this photo is the fact that the only subject is the glass bowel that is in focus, while the background is blurred.

FRAMING

The items, such as the sink, racks, and pots, are what are framing the student washing their hands.

RULE OF THIRDS

Although this photo is vertical the rule of thirds can still apply so the lemon is set off to one side because of this rule. It draws your attention there.

AVOIDING MERGERS

In this photo there happens to be a white board behind the chef that had black tape placed upon it which now seems like its coming out of the chef's head like an antenna.

BALANCE

This photo, although can be a lines rule, is included as balance because the set up of the spices is very symmetrical and balanced through the photo.

LINES

The edge of the table is the leading line that takes you across the photo and if there was a subject, such as a person at the end of the table that would be great because then the lines would lead to the person.
