Composition Anaysis

Here are some composition studies. Pics from this post.


Framing:
     -All large shapes frame around the dolls
     - intersection between side and top object and behind middle doll
Staging:
     - dolls have clear silhouettes and are grouped
Space:
     - neg space around and within dolls
Balance:
     - two outside dolls not symmetrical
     - display not centered


Framing
            - foreground detail creates a clear space to frame the character
          
Staging
          - foreground has a nice hierachy of shapes (dolls, table etc)
Space
          - background very light and undetailed
Balance
         - framing space has nice unsymmetrical shape

 
F:
- background intersects doll pleasingly
- lady helps to frame doll

St:
-clear silhouettes
-opposing poses

Sp:
- lots of -ve space between the doll, curtain and lady 
- no detail on table or floor, spaced detil on cabinets

B:
- doll center of picture, but uncentered framing


More later.

Composition Summary

Here is my summary of the composition tools John K shares in his composition manual (you can get it from his composition posts)


Basically it breaks down to four simple ideas (summarized at the bottom of the page). I'm going to use this info over the next few weeks to analyse a bunch of compositions, so stay tuned (;
