Juxtaposition

Juxtaposition

In photography, Juxtaposition is used to create contrast between two images placed next to each other. These images could be of completely different things, have different colours and compositions and doing this makes both photos seem more interesting as the audience wonders how they relate to one another, noticing their similarities and differences.

Overall these were fun and interesting to make but would have probably looked better if I had planned to make a juxtaposition from the start instead of having to reuse my older images. I like how in the last one I made their background’s switch to the opposite colour when the picture was cropped as I think it makes the composition more unique.
