What Is Juxtaposition

Juxtaposition is an act of placing two elements close together or side by side. This is often done in order to compare/contrast the two, to show similarities or differences.

The two original images were taken from different angles but had the same main subject. This meant that I could juxtapose them together even though they were taken from different angles. My outcome is of the newer, colorful Beauport Bay with the older, black and white image of the Bay in the center. The newer image is 2-3 years old and the older one is roughly 70 years old so it brings a good idea of compare and contrast to the image.
