Direction of Movement

The feeling that a photo’s subject is moving across the photo.

Leading Space-

1. The greater space in front of the subject for the subject to move into in a photograph.

Framing

1. - Technique using something in the foreground that “frames” the subject, leads the eye into the photo to focus on the subject. Also gives the feeling of depth because the subject is further away than the frame.

Point of View

The physical position of the camera relative to the subject, determining the angle, height, and distance from which a scene is captured.

Low P.O.V

1. The camera is positioned below the subject’s eye line looking upward.

High P.O.V

1. The camera is positioned above the subject, looking down often creating a “bird’s eye” perspective.

Leading Lines-

1. - Straight, curved , parallel, or diagonal lines that pull your eye into or through a photo.

Freezing Action

1. Technique that stops movement and allows you to see something that would have happened too quickly to see without photography.

Panning-

1. - You move the camera in tandem with the subject so you end up catching the moving object sharply with a blurred background.
