Love the elegant compositions of Bruno Barbey from Magnum:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Repeating forms, curved line, looks like a “stop motion animation”<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2. Monochromatic color photo<\/h2>\n

Just the pop of yellow and red on the far right woman. Note the curves and shadows and spacing of subjects:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3. Leading lines and storytelling<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. Separation of different visual elements with rectangles<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

5. Opposing forces<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

6. Simple, clean, minimalist composition<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

7. Getting close and intimate, and faces and limbs on different visual planes<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

8. Three dimensional curved composition<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

9. Surrealism<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

10. Three subjects, and bottom frame with visual elements<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

11. Eye contact, and curved composition<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

12. Simple, quiet, meditative composition<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

13. Separation of frame<\/h2>\n

Love the man in the far right in white, out of focus, with family in background<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

14. Far away shot, leading lines in background wall<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

15. Arabesque composition<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

16. Close, filling the frame, epic arabesque composition<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
