The City Photo is important to me because it's a picture of Philadelphia and I was born there so it means a lot to me sentimentally. I thought Vertical Lines ran throughout this photo and the lines on the building led the eye up so that is the compositional element in this photo.
In the next photo to the right (the firework), I used Movement and rhythm as my compositional element. This photo is important to me because I took it on New Years Eve and it was the first NYE I've spent with my dad and my step mom together.
The next photo to the right has diagonal lines as the compositional element. This photo is important to me because it's my name tag from Journey's which is where
I work and spend half of my time usually.
Next photo is the sunset on the farm which had the compositional element of horizon lines. This photo is important to me because I go by this farm every day of the week and every morning I see the sunrise behind it.
The Coca Cola clock was originally symmetrical compositionally but then I cropped the photo in closer to make it more interesting to me. This photo is important to me because it's the clock in our family friend's restaurant that he just opened.
The center photo's compositional element is curved lines. This photo is important to me because it's the gear outside of Planet Fitness and I go to Planet Fitness almost everyday, and I love to run and workout there.
In the top left photo of the book, I planned on taking a close and detailed shot of the book pages. I intensified the blacks to enhance the contrast and interest of the photo. The photo uses leading line composition to draw my eye from the edge of the pages up to the corner of the photo, off the page. This picture is important to me because I love to read books. I usually don't find time to but when I find an interesting book like this one, I have trouble putting it down.
The photo of my dog uses a compositional element of texture to really show the detail and draw the eye in on the fur of my dog. I love this photo probably more than any other because my dog is my best friend and I treat him like a real person. I honestly don't know what life would be like when he's gone and I can't take pictures of him anymore.
The bottom left photo is of all of my favorite things, clothes and shoes. This photo uses the compositional element of variety so your eye moves around to each piece and subject in the photo. This photo is important to me because I am addicted to shopping it's basically all I do.
The final photo is of, yes, the beloved Starbucks. I like this composition because it's asymmetrical and it just draws my eye from each starbucks drink back and forth to each new detail. This photo is important to me because I go to Starbucks more than I probably should and I enjoy the atmosphere in there (and the drinks).
