Pattern—organized repetition of art elements like colors, shapes & lines create a rhythm in an image.
Proportion—creates frame of reference for the viewer of the actual real-life size, scale, & distance of objects within an image (i.e….placing a person in an image shows size). It also includes purposefully omitting clues of size, scale, and distance to create an illusion that something is bigger than it truly is.
Unity—all individual parts support and relate to each other to harmonize & make a single cohesive image.
Variety—using different elements that are unrelated and diverse to create more contrast and emotion in an image.
Emphasis—the main focus of a photograph that is communicated to the viewer …this can be done by making your emphasis point either (1) most in focus, (2) largest, (3) most colorful, or (4) brightest part of the image (this one works well to help bring out more of the element of value in an image).
