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 guide your eye even beyond the subject, pulling you deeper into the tunnel.

  • That yellow railing in the foreground works as a bold leading line, catching you instantly (mostly because of the colour pop) and then drawing you in as well.

  • The subject breaking up the symmetry is a nice touch too, it keeps the photo from feeling too sterile/clinical/symmetrical.
