Project 23: Implied Lines

For the second part of this project I had to find any 3 photos of my own and find the implied lines, alongside a small diagram to show these lines.

Photo 1: Here there is an eyeline from the two elderly people looking at the stamp collection on the table.

Photo 2: A row of boats form a vertical line, weakly dominant heading into the frame.

Photo 3: A person looking through binoculars gives the suggestion of a strong eye-line outwards to the left.

Secondly, plan and take 2 photos that use either an eye line, or an extension of a line (or lines that point). I found this quite challenging!

An Eye line: A small family is looking up at a monument leading the viewers eyes to the top RH side of the photo.

Lines that point: Gardens in Clare College Cambridge pointing gently towards the top LH corner.

This project was challenging (the searching for implied lines) but I will keep this technique in mind in future photo taking.
