Geometric photography is the art of finding and harnessing the world\u2019s geometry through imagery. We use our cameras to turn our geometrical surroundings into powerful and dynamic images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Once you start looking, you\u2019ll find lines everywhere. Bold, thin, wavy, or sharp\u2014there are countless types of lines. And you can use them to strengthen your composition in geometric photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The geometry of lines helps us visualize our surroundings. They define space, momentum, and emphasis. Lines delineate both conceptual and physical designs. They provide a scaffold for ideas and experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Repetition involves repeating a subject many times for greater impact within an image. You can find geometric shapes that repeat to create patterns throughout your images. With each repetition, the geometry in the image is emphasized. It gives your geometric photography rhythm and structure. The shapes become part of the narrative of your photograph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Symmetry is the visual balance of one or more subjects within a composition. It occurs both naturally and artificially. It is often tied to the geometric properties of a photograph. Symmetry visually and psychologically pleasing to encounter. And it adds an even flow to a photograph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An image doesn\u2019t need to be perfect to achieve the impression of symmetry. You can find symmetry by using reflections in glass or water. Or you can look for similar geometric shapes in your compositions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Color can liven up a geometric image, snagging the viewer\u2019s eye. But color also can work on a deeper, more psychological level. Colors are linked to emotional experiences. Different colors hold specific meanings for different people. While red shows passion, blue denotes calmness. You introduce a new layer of experience to geometric photography by incorporating color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bringing color theory into your work adds depth and meaning to your geometric photography. You can use different color patterns to give your images a more substantial emotional feel as Turkish photographer Yener Torun displays in the image below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Black and white can\u2019t rely on color to get attention. It depends on shape and form. The contrast of black and white helps create dynamic shapes and lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You don\u2019t have blocks of color. But you can find strong shapes made from black and white. And you can also look for contrasting shades of grey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Black and white photography is about finding light and dark areas. Look for the regions where light meets dark. The light beams and shadows create a world of shape that surrounds you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Texture defines the way an image feels. It allows the viewer to connect with a photograph on a physical level. Rough, smooth, wrinkly, or slippery\u2014most subjects are made from textural qualities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Geometric subjects operate on many textural levels. Polished metallic surfaces give an impression of smoothness and modernity. Weather-worn geometric architecture can feel rough and old. You can almost feel the rough texture of old bricks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
