Balance is important in a photo because it gives it a sense of stability and harmony. It also helps the viewers eye naturally move though the image. To start taking pictures with balance start focusing on where you place your subject, and also through the use of shapes. There are two different types of balance photo you can take. The first one is symmetric balance, which is also known as formal balance. The second one is asymmetric balance, also known as informal balance. Tonal balance, subject balance, color balance, and conceptional balance are all types of asymmetric balance.
This picture I took in the morning of the sunrise at my house. This is an example of tonal balance because the dark and the orange they give a dark feel.
This picture I took after it rained at our farm. This shows tonal balance because the rainbow and the other parts of the sky balance each other out.
This is the pumpkins that are outside the school at the car loop and I thought they were really pretty. This represents color balance because the pumpkins and the different colors of flowers are bright.
This picture is of my pumpkin that my boyfriend got me for a joke because he thought it would be funny that he told me he was getting me a small pumpkin, but actually it was that big I couldn’t even carry it. This is also an example of color balance because the background and the pumpkin are very different colors, which makes the pumpkin pop.
This picture was taken at school at the bathrooms. This photo represents conceptual balance because the pictures on the sign is showing that the one side is the lady’s restroom and the other is the mens restroom.
This picture was taken in my basement at night so the lighting wasn’t the best and could be improved. But it is showing conceptual balance because it comparing one thing that was man made, while the plant is alive and part of nature.
This picture shows subject balance because the flowers create depth to the photo. This picture was a picture of the flowers I got from my boyfriend.
This picture is of my car and I really love this picture because the lighting was perfect and it even gave it a little glitter. This also shows subject balance because it creates depth because in the background of my photo there is corn and the sky. Overall balance in this picture is good because in the foreground is the grass and in the middle ground is my car and in the background is the corn and sky.
