SHAPES & PATTERNS

Shapes and patterns are part of special and physical attributes that make good pictures. If we take a good look around us, we will notice that everything has a unique shape and is arranged in a distinct form. As a photographer, one just needs to be keen in their surroundings in order to point out these features. Example, buildings, roads and highways, artworks such as sculptors, home appliances, furniture, plants and animals and even human beings will from time to time form different shapes and patterns. People will either deliberately or at times unconsciously create such attractive outlines and designs from their actions; while standing like in a military parade, when sitting for instance in a church service or during their movements example, a group of athletes running a marathon. When any of these is captured in a unique way, it creates exciting images. For more dramatic effect, combine shapes and patterns with other special attributes like color and size.
