Contrast Light/Enviroment

Contrast in photography is the range of difference between the lightest and darkest elements within an image. For example tone of the sky dark blue sky and the light grey building is an example of contrast in light.

Balance-Enviroment

Balance is when there there is a clear line in a photograph where the subject is mirrored. For example in this photograph the tree and sky (which are the subject of the photo) are reflected perfectly in the bottom half of the image.

Negative space

Negative space in photography is when the photo emphasises the empty space around the subject is well as the subject itself. For example in this photo the man riding the camel is the subject but only takes up a small amount of the photo emphasising the desert environment (empty space) around him.

Golden Ratio

Golden ratio is a guide photographers use to know where to place the subject where it will be most where it will most visually pleasing. For example in this image the golden ratio emphasise the bit of the shell where the spiral ends.

Golden Ratio/Contrast/Leading LINES/rULE OF THIRD

There is contrast between the sky on the foreground elements. The pole facing upwards and the plane trail are examples of leading lines.

Texture-Enviroment/Light

This is an example of texture.
