TERMINOLOGY

Angle - The direction and position from which the photographer takes the photograph.

Contrast - The relationship between the light and dark parts of a picture.

Foreground - The space in between the placement of all the elements included in a picture. Foreground is the space closest to the viewer and in front of the middleground and background

Middleground - The space in between the placement of all the elements included in a picture. Middleground is the space half the distance back, between the foreground and background.

Background - The space in between the placement of all the elements included in a picture. Background is the furthest space in the frame, behind the foreground and middleground.

Framing - The decision the photographer makes about what to include in the picture, look at the edges of the picture frame and what is included

Cropping - Photographs can also highlight a certain part of the scene, look at the edges of the picture frame and what might have been excluded or cropped from the picture

Symmetry/Asymmetry - The balance between the left and right sides of the picture. If the photograph has the same elements on each side, the picture is symmetrical. If it does not, it is asymmetrical.
