Photo Analysis

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 (

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).

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
