shape

Shapes are elements that take up specific space in frame in a particular way. At the same time, they are two-dimensional and take up a specific amount of a frame’s space. An element’s shape is represented by its outline. A human silhouette is a recognizable shape, as is that of a tree or a chair. In photography, the way shapes are positioned and the way someone shows how they compare with one another creates their relationship in a composition. In order to emphasize a shape in a photograph, it is crucial to choose an appropriate angle. Moreover, shooting in a blacklit scenario helps create a silhouette, which draws attention to the shape but does not reveal form.
