We saw in a previous post, what are the 5 main compositional elements that make a photographic image professional and highly visual and communicative impact.
Today I want to analyze 5 other equally important elements, and when used in shooting will make your pictures even better.

FRAMING (FRAMING)

We all have the habit of framing our photographs before you hang on the wall but we can also "frame" our subjects in the same shot thus highlighting the main point of interest in the image and inserendololo in a context that gives effect depth to the image.

PERSPECTIVE

The prospect is another element of great impact for a picture. If Immortalize from a certain height a subject that is lower than us, or, conversely, the Immortalize from the bottom upwards, this drastically affects not only the appearance of the image, highlighting different points of interest, angles, textures , forms, etc.., but also affects the meaning and interpretation of an image.

SPACE

Space management can ensure that there is a continuum between the subject and its background, or may give the subject a certain isolation from the context.
Both techniques can be effective in imparting a feeling of intimacy or estrangement, depending on whether you choose to leave out of the picture or not parts of the subject.
Sometimes it's what you leave out an image that makes the picture special.

BALANCE

The position of the elements in an image may lead to a greater or lesser equilibrium.
Too many points of interest concentrated in one area of the image, can build up that area and other parts may appparire empty. Try to find the right placement of the elements to get a smooth shot.

THE COLOR

The colors of an image and can make them forget or destroy for ever a snap.
Bright colors can add vitality, energy and interest-but if placed in the wrong way can also distract from the focal points. Even dark colors create great impact.
The blue and green have a calming effect, red and yellow infuse warmth and energy. Experiment with different color combinations and evaluate the effect.
