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.
