Photo Analysis
Welcome to our Photo Analysis Section, this is the part of our magazine where we take a closer look at a photo to analyse its composition, lighting, storytelling and more.

Photo Analysis: A London Night
Photo by: @rems.visuals Composition & Framing What works well: Compositionally, the lamp is a bit of a double-edged sword (more on that down below), but on the positive side it absolutely works as a spotlight device. Your eye goes straight to the lamp first, and from there naturally down to the man underneath it. Framing is solid overall. Our subject sits nicely between two posts, which subtly box him in without it feeling forced. The man and the lamp are both off-centre, whi

Photo Analysis: A Day in Berlin
Photo by: @susonsjack Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: The layering is pretty strong. You have the modern James-Simon-Galerie in the foreground (along with the stairs and the man on the bottom right), the classical building behind it, and then the TV tower peeking through in the background, that creates a really nice sense of depth. The clean, minimalist geometry of the foreground gallery building contrasts nicely with the more detailed histori

Photo Analyis: A Rainy Night In London
photo by: @laura.gzo Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: The natural corridor created by the buildings on each side is pretty great. It funnels your eye straight toward the man and then continues upward to the dome, all of that creates a strong sense of depth and a nice 3D effect. There are leading lines here, but they are subtle, especially the two yellow stripes on the ground. The car headlights behind the man, in a way, also count as leading li

Photo Analysis: A Foggy Night
Photo by: @petewan ds Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: The S-shaped leading line is, in my opinion, the star of the composition. It is one of those rare cases where the environment naturally carves out a perfect visual path for us photographers to use. There are actually two main leading lines, the row of concrete bollards and the faint reflective lines in the ground beside them (the fact that it rained before really plays into the cards of the

Photo Analysis: A Naples Morning
Photo by: @qs.street Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: Composition is pretty strong, the alley naturally forms a long tunnel, and that tunnel effect adds a ton of depth and the 3D effect. The leading lines aren’t just the walls, the cobblestones. the shadow/light, but especially the polls on the right guide your eye toward the centre, which is a nice touch. The layers nice as well, we have the textured ground, polls scooters and balconies, the p

Photo Analysis: Belgium's Retro Future Train Station
Photo by: @p_varsic Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: Leading lines are definitely strong here, the yellow strip on the ground, the whole train (/the edges), all the floor markings, even the reflections on the metal. It all creates a ton of depth. It is also nice that the leading lines coming from the train basically start right from the edges of the frame, which makes the whole perspective feel very intentional and immersive.

Photo Analysis: Amongst the Busses
Photo by: @capital.shutter Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: Our subject is nicely centred and framed by all the buses, they all form a natural tunnel that squeezes your eye right to the silhouette. The glowing light path on the wet ground acts like a visual funnel, guiding your eye straight into the centre of the image where the subject is standing/walking. The layering is great as well, foreground bus, mid-ground bus, deeper bus, then the pers

Photo Analysis: Cable Car
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
