Photography and Composition
When considering magazines like National Geographic, or social media like Pinterest, it
becomes evident that photography plays an instrumental role in visual communication.
However, creating an impactful photograph is not always easy.
Your textbook explains the importance of design and composition in successful photography.
For this discussion, locate a photograph (either on the Web or in print) that strategically uses at
least three elements of design (e.g., balance, color, asymmetry, etc.). Then, paste a link to the
photograph (or, if it is in print, upload a scanned copy to the discussion forum or the web), and
explain which elements are utilized, and how they affect the overall impact and message of the
photograph.
