The first task that I have been given in this course is to produce 6 images that explore that theme of balance within composition. 3 shots will be balanced and 3 are to show imbalance.
The use of balance in photography is a compositional tool which can be used to give a certain feeling within the image. For example if the photographer wishes to portrait a scene as being harmonious or calm then the composition should show some balance, conversely, if the intention is to show an image containing some tension then the composition should be imbalanced.
Balance can be obtained using various techniques such as using symmetry, used of colour and by placing similar elements next to each other in images.
To create imbalance we can shift the view to isolate the subject matter and give the viewer nowhere else for their eye to travel to.
