Balance Part 2
The viewer’s eye moves easily from the track shoes in the foreground into the photo, creating a sense of balance. Meaningful props in a photo help tell a story. The emphasis on the track shoes suggests this youth is a runner.
What makes this photograph feel balanced?
In this photograph, the left third of space is “light” in feel, while the right is darker and heavier. The youth is in the center offset by the light and heavy sides.
