Diagonals

This week Patti proposes a very interesting topic. Those who know about photography tell us that the diagonals are lines with greater tension, visual force and generate interesting perspectives, for this reason it is said that these lines are the most attractive in composition.

It is also very useful for me to continue showing some of the photos I took in the urban photography workshop that I did last week.

Just yesterday I posted a few photos, so we could consider today a continuation. As I explained yesterday, the teachers encouraged us to look for risky compositions, avoiding postcard photos.

In my case, I looked up a lot and used many diagonals, I don’t know if it was successful, but here are some examples. I would have discarded some of them, because they don’t seem very interesting to me and I would love to know your opinion.

Which one do you like the most or which one would you send to the bin? Are diagonals effective in these cases? Be honest, if you don’t like any of them, you can also tell me.

In this case I see two diagonals, the first is clear, the bench that leads us to the seated girl, the second would be the gaze of the sculpture, which also leads us to the girl. The black and white option is to try to depersonalize the girl, I don’t like to photograph unknown people and it is very difficult for me to publish them when I take a photo of that type. I feel like the black and white makes it a bit more anonymous.

Looking up, trying to find different images. My poor cervical were not too happy. 😞

We will let our necks rest… The lines on the ground seem to invite us to accompany the couple that goes towards the light.
