Photo by: @therealamogh Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: The leading lines are pretty good, the foreground tram rails pull you right into the photo and stretch all the way up the hill, giving the whole image an incredible sense of depth. They also create a strong visual flow. The perspective is also very nice, you have that long, vertical stretch of the road disappearing into the distance, which gives the photo a very surreal/almost ‘‘impossibl

Photo by: @leanderhoefler Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: The framing is pretty smart, minimal yet balanced. The bridge sits perfectly in the upper third, cutting the photo cleanly, and the woman is placed beautifully right below it —> that placement creates a strong compositional link between our subject and the bridge. The timing here is obviously great, catching the woman right where the bridge pillar visually “points” down to her feels ver

photo by: @susonsjack Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: The composition is well thought out, the path and the trees create a natural tunnel that pulls you right into the photo. The leading lines are also nice, stretching from the foreground all the way into the distance, which gives the photo the 3D depth effect. Layering wise we have got the woman and child in the front, then the cyclist mid-frame, and the distant background. That separation gi

Photo by: @patrick.noack Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: Composition-wise, this photo is definitely interesting. In my opinion there are three main subjects → the man crossing the street, the sun, and the TV tower and they are all sitting in this sort of triangular balance. Your eye kind of bounces between them, which gives the image a nice flow and a touch of energy. The leading lines of the street are subtle but powerful. They stretch into t

Photo by: @takumi_0491 Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: The framing is really nice, those two concrete columns left and right work perfectly as natural frame, they draw you straight toward the middle where the action is happening, just like looking through a window. The line of light on the floor is probably the most interesting part + it is what makes this shot unique —> it works almost like a secret leading line, you notice it first, follow i

Photo by: @z.a.o_ Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: The framing is pretty clever (more on that in the storytelling part). Shooting through the fence gives the photo an instant layer of depth and context, and it actually frames both the man and the Manhattan Bridge. The bridge itself works as a big leading line. It pulls your eye straight toward the middle of the frame, right where our subject is standing. It is a great way to naturally direct at

Photo by: @patrick.noack Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: The perspective is pretty good. Everything runs into the distance —> the train, the lamps, even the lines in the tiles on the ceiling and floor. It all naturally funnels your eye deeper into the frame, which creates a good sense of depth/3D look. Having the woman in frame breaks up the hard geometry and brings some life into what could have been a purely architectural shot. Without her (

Photo by: @blowithand Let’s Analyse this Image: Light & Atmosphere What works well: The spotlight effect from the headlights on the man is pretty great, it isolates him perfectly and makes sure your eye goes straight to the subject. The lights literally set the frame/scene. That same light makes his silhouette very crisp against the glowing street + we actually get to see him in a bit more detail, which is definitely a positive (more on that below, in the storytelling part).

photo by; @joao.bernardino Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: The centered perspective works really nicely. The lines of the street and tram tracks pull you straight into the middle. Leading lines are pretty solid here —> the cobblestone lines, the tram tracks, even the lamps all guide you down the street and into the distance. It all adds depth and keeps the eye moving. Having our subject dead centre works, they feel like the natural anchor in t

photo by: @kam_visions Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: The symmetry is great. The tunnel naturally funnels your eye right into the distance, and the centred perspective makes it really powerful. The leading lines are also very strong, they basically start at the corners of the photo and all converge toward the middle, which pulls you right in. The lines on the roof (the cables, lights etc.) also add a ton to the depth, because they continue to
