ShapesThe unique element of photography, shape, can be interpreted differently by every person trying to visualize it. Shape is often categorized as “geometric” or “organic”. When one thinks of shape, usually, he or she sees the mathematical appearance of
shapes. A photographer can use this “geometric” approach in his or her photograph. As a result, the photograph’s shape will most likely be easily definable, and it will have more clear-cut, crisp lines. In addition, it might add symmetry to a photograph, which gives it more of a unique appearance. Most often, a photographer will capture the urban feeling of a city using shapes involved in geometry. On the other hand, the “organic” version of shapes forces the viewer of an image to look closer in order to see what shape the image is attempting to portray. With the softer, irregular lines associated with it, the photograph will most likely not have symmetry. Even though in these shape is less noticeable, it still ends up fascinating the eye of the viewer because of the artistic style. Sometimes, a photographer takes a picture of an “organic” shape in nature. In conclusion, even with all of the varying interpretations, shape can almost always be classified as either “geometric” or “organic”. |
Natalie greatly enjoyed capturing the interesting element of shape because of its different interpretations. She attempted to capture both "organic" images and "geometric" pictures. In addition, she believes that her images turned out pretty nicely, and she did not experience any problems with her images.
