Study Notes

Visual Elements

Horizontal lines emphasize width, stability, and security
Diagonal lines have a more dramatic, dynamic effect than vertical and horizontal
Curved lines reflect nature, relaxation, sensuality
Vertical lines emphasize strength, power, and height

Types of Photography

Aerial photography: captured from above
Architectural Photography: interiors & exteriors; two challenges: lighting & image distortion
Candid photography: taken by chance, in a split second, without the subject's awareness
Fashion photography: uses high-end cameras, typically used to sell something
Food photography: used in restaurants, websites, and blogs; utilizes natural light
Landscape photography: one of the most popular types of photography
Night/Long Exposure Photography: requires skillful use of light, shutter speed, and aperture
Portrait photography: captures people's moods and expressions; includes close-up shots or full-body portraits
Sports Photography: involves getting up-close to the action in a fast-paced environment
Street Photography: captures everyday life in public spaces or urban environments
Wildlife Photography: one of the most challenging types, due to capturing animals in their natural habitat

Composition

The rule of thirds: a balancing technique that lines up main points of interest
Simplify the background: use a sheet or wall to minimize distractions
Framing a scene: draws attention to the subject
Less is more: keep the composition simple
Using lines: directs the viewer's eyes and helps balance the composition
Contrast: uses light and color to create visual interest
Close-ups: attract and hold the viewer's attention
Alternative viewpoints: uses unusual camera angles

The Exposure Triangle

Aperture: the size of the lens opening; controls the amount of light entering the camera
Shutter Speed: the amount of exposure time; controls the duration of light entering the camera
ISO: the camera's sensitivity to light; a high ISO means more sensitivity, while a low ISO means less sensitivity

Digital Imaging

Raster: small images lose quality when enlarged; uses pixels
Vector: images can be made any size without losing quality; uses mathematical equations
Cropping: changes the size, shape, or focus of an image
Resizing: ensures the image is the perfect fit for a project
Cosmetic adjustments: enhances image qualities, such as brightness, contrast, saturation, and color

Design Elements

Line: connects two or more points; can be fat, thin, wavy, or jagged
Shape: a two-dimensional area; can be geometric or organic
Form: a three-dimensional shape
Texture: the physical quality of a surface
Balance: the equal distribution of visual weight; affected by color, size, number, and negative space

Color Basics

Primary colors: cannot be created by combining other colors
Secondary colors: created by combining two primary colors
Hue: another word for color
Saturation: the intensity of a color; can be subtle or vibrant
Value: the lightness or darkness of a color
Monochromatic: uses one color or hue
Analogous: uses colors that are next to each other on the color wheel
Complementary: uses colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel
Split-complementary: uses colors on either side of the complement
Tetradic: forms a rectangle on the color wheel using two complementary color pairs
