Line: lines in photography are either straight, combined or a mixture of both. Different type of lines can mean lots of different things.

Shape: When a line, or more than one line, closes or connects, a shape is formed. there is lots of ways of defining what shape is but a definition that stands out to be is ‘spatial form or contour’

Form: Just as with shapes, there are two basic types of form, geometric (or regular) and organic. Geometric forms are the familiar sphere, cube, cone, cylinder…etc Organic forms are the objects that surround us in our three-dimensional world.

texture: In photography, texture can be felt with both the fingers (the print) and virtually (with the viewer’s eye). Texture can be described as many things and texture often enhances an image, showing its ‘vulnerable’ side.

colour: showing colour in a photograph can bring life to a photograph. a definition for colour that really stand out is, ‘a colour other than and as contrasted with black, white, or grey’.

size: size is the most elusive topic. showing how small/big something is can show the reality of an object/thing. types of size: Large, medium, or small

depth: depth is the most eye opening topic. a simple definition for depth is ‘the direct linear measurement from front to back’. looking at the depth of something can create a ‘form’ to the photography.
