Composition Techniques- Leading Lines and focal points

Leading lines- A leading line is a line that is direct to the viewers eye
You can find leading lines anywhere on the photo if you imaginative. The leading lines are spilt into two section called the man made and natural leading lines. With this in mind, depending on the type of day , time,and location your photo will always be different.

Focal Points- A focal point is the part the the viewer is drawn too i.e: the most important part of the photo


From this photo, it gives you many connotations of different imaginative things. It is able to enhance what you see behind the photo , and give a better emphasis to the audience. It helps demonstrate leading line , because this image connotes hell and heaven because of the the sky is up and horrible bit is below.

The main source of light (the key light) .Nextly the fill light is used in order to get rid of the shadows. Thirdly, the next light is to either reflect light or diffuse the light enabling the photo to look perfect. Health and safety consideration: Minding the portable lighting leads so that you don't trip up and hurt yourself. Also, take into account and ask if any one suffers with epilepsy. Being aware of the strobe lights so that you don't look directly into them to make sure you don't blind yourself.
