Closed Format Cropping

Closed format cropping Is where all the information is provided, People photography, narrative. In other words a cropped photo that still tells the whole , 

Closed Format Cropping is shown in this image. In a way you can see the entire tree and the image does not just focus on the specifics. Closed Format Cropping is used so you can get all information that is provided. 

This image may also falls under the Rule of Thirds because when split into vertical thirds the tree in places in the centre third and that is why it would be the main focus in this image.

Edge Of Frame

This image taken by .

Demonstrates the Edge of Frame because the focus of the image is not in the centre, so it draws the eyes away to the bottom of the picture or wherever.Edge of Frame pictures are normally used when the photographer wants to take the focus of the eyes away from the centre and focus on the detail around the frame which would normally get overlooked at just a usual picture that was taken.

Taken By Danny Santos.

This is an example of edge of frame placement. 

The main point of this photo is placed a little out of frame creating a sense of mystery, because the entire subject is not seen. This photo is pretty effective because it uses the combination of strong shapes and effectively directs our eyes straight to the main point. The edge of frame placement creates a sense that the subject and the environment are equal. 

Central Placement

Central Placement is a photograph where the main focus is the centre of your camera/ photo. 

- Taken By Unknown

This image demonstrates central placement as they have been placed in the middle of the image. Due to the contrast between the colour of the background and the outline of the figures and the sunlight, there is attention instantly drawn to the centre of the image where they have been placed. 

Horizontal Line Photography

In contrast to the effect of vertical lines, horizontal lines can lend a type of lazy, calm feeling to a photograph. They may bring to mind how it feels to lie down and be relaxed. Some examples of using horizontal lines to create a calming mood are to capture long, rolling waves on a shoreline, using the solid line of a fallen tree as a main element; and capturing the peaceful line of an ocean horizon. The calm, relaxed feeling created in all of these scenes can be further enhanced by using a horizontal format.

This photos demonstrates a style of horizontal photography, because  the bricks on the house and the weather boards on the door are all horizontal. The contrast of the red bricks and white door makes it really interesting.

Open Format Cropping Photography

he open format crop is basically any photo where the full subject is not contained within the frame. It can aid in bringing the most attention to the subject matter as it is often the only thing in the frame. It can also create mystery with the viewer not knowing what lay beyond the frame.

This photo was photographed by Blake Cherish, this is a good example of cropping because, the father (or the man holding the baby) is cut out, this shows me that the main focus for the photo is the baby, they don't care about the person holding it or anything to do with the baby they just want the baby, and I thinks that they have really used this cropping technique well.

One To One POV

This was photographed by Danny Santos it is an example of one to one point of view because, The photograph is of a girl who is looking directly into the camera, she appears to be 'one on one' with the photographer. The photo gives a deeper sense of the person, as it shows their expression and often 'one to one' POV will tell the viewer something about the person.

Diagonal Line Photogrpahy

Diagonal lines generally work well to draw the eye of an image’s viewer through the photograph. They create points of interest as they intersect with other lines and often give images depth by suggesting perspective. Diagonals are often used to create a sense of tension, or this can happen naturally as the Tension map illustrates. In addition to this, diagonals can serve the same purposes as horizontal and vertical lines in that they can guide the eye, and act as frames, borders and isolators.

This photo is an example of Horizontal Photography taken by Jared Lim. It really interested me, because most photos of  stadium chairs or concert chairs are normally dead straight (the steps) but in this it is diagonal, and makes it look a lot better and bigger both ways.
