photo line

1. Elements
The basic building blocks
• Line – WARM UP
• Shape/Form
• Space
• Value
• Texture
• Color

2. LINE
• Directs the eye –
horizontal, vertical,
diagonal, curvy, zig-zag,
etc.
• Can be actual obvious lines
or the borders or edges of
shapes.

3. Actual Line – it’s there! For real!
Where do the lines take your eyes?
• The lines of rope
take your eyes
across the image.
• Because of their
length, the lines
have importance.

4. Implied Line – Not real objects!
• Take your eyes
across that gap.
• Often the main
subject of the
photo.
