Picture Composition

                           Head Room

"Headroom" is the term given to the space 
above the subject's head. If you watch any TV, you will see a consistent sliver of space in close-ups of people. Too much headroom makes your shot look off balance--and too little cuts of the subject's head.









                      Looking Space
       ( The object is looking at something)

When we see a person looking at something, we often tend to look at the same direction. We are also used to the idea that people, animals and vehicles have a certain direction to where they are going. We assume that they move forward. This is a matter that should be taken into consideration in image composition. It's often distracting if there is a person, an animal or a vehicle on the edge of the photo that seems to be moving away from the photo and we can't see where to. It's also often distracting if there is a person on the edge of the photo who is looking away from the picture. This kind of composition should usually be avoided.

                                     Leveling
             (The object in a camera shot is straight)

The objective of any leveling shot is to direct the line of sight in a horizontal direction. The various models have different means of approaching this objective. Most levels are capable of turning only on a vertical axis.

                                                3 Photos Emphasizing The Foreground + Background







    In this camera shot,the main object in this photo is the "hand bracelet " emphasizing the foreground and the background.    











    In this camera shot,the main object in this photo is the "fries" ,the photo also emphasize the foreground and the background of the fries.    









     In this camera shot,the main object in this photo is still the "fries".The "hand" in this picture is just part of the background emphasizing with the foreground.
