Elements of Art and Principles of Design

For this project I found photos and took photos of my own that were examples of these elements of art and principles of design. The photos on the left of each principle or design are from a well-known photographer, while those on the left are my own. Elements are slightly physical things that exist in the frame and principles are concepts and things one can do in their photos. This project made me look at my shots more holistically, not just one item in the middle of my frame.
