Light Steps
This photo is balanced because the light pole is strategically placed on the left side of the frame. If the light pole was missing, the steps would pull the eye to much to the right side and feel unbalanced.

Dynamic Tension
Climbing Salt
The dynamic tension in this photo is created by Jordan standing on top of the strong line of salt. The salt has numerous lines running through it that are broken up by the bags hanging by the chords. Another line is created by the jet streams. All the lines create tension with one another.
Figure & Ground
Plant
Figure and ground is created in this photo by the plant being in focus and the background slightly out of focus.
Rhythm
Bus Seats
I created rhythm in this photo by capturing the progression of the chairs.
Pattern, Texture, Many
Belt Rollers
I created a patter by shooing down a line of rollers on a conveyor belt. The rollers also have a rusted texture.
Perspective & Depth
Lock
I chose to give a different perspective to a lock by shooting it from underneath and created depth in the photo by defocusing the large structure above it.
Visual Weight
Carburetor
To create visual weight, I made the carburetor the focal point of this photo by slightly blurring the background.
Frame Within Frames
Ladder Frame
The intent behind this photo was to not only frame the ladder’s rungs, but also frame the ladder itself. The silo provides a frame for the ladder and the circle cage around the ladder frames itself leading the eye toward the end of it.
Horizon
Lonely Tree
The purpose behind this photo was to shoot a low horizon to emphasize the lone tree among the blue sky. I accomplished this by framing the tree and horizon just right.
Dividing the Frame
Door 17
My intent behind this photo was to present several items into one image. I divided the frame by using Fibronacci’s division rule and shooting the door from a straight on perspective.
