Perspective & Line





original context (flickr): july1777's photostream

This interesting photograph of a Korean food market successfully communicates elements and compositional elements of two-dimensional design. The lines created by the stools in the photograph give depth to the space within the rectangle. The stools emphasize the rule of thirds as well. Also emphasizing the rule of thirds is the woman in the first third of the photograph, dually the center of interest. The reds, greens and yellows help the photograph to maintain a complementary color scheme and also imbue an atmosphere significant to the title of the photograph (“Closing Time”)

What I love about this is the subject matter. Just the sort of everyday hustle and bustle captured and frozen forever in an image. I agree that the image is visually interesting with the use of depth and perspective but one of the things that I love is the colors and the mix of dark and light throughout the image, especially the scattered lights.
