The image in the top left corner was taken by Candace Makowichuk and was printed on paper, she is famous for using not only paper but fabrics as well. The main compositional techniques used in this image would be fill the frame and also framing. Some of the elements that the artist put in this image would be texture, this is shown clearly in the child's hair and the father's sweater. Along with this she used the principle of unity as it shows the relationship between the two people in the cyanotype.

The second image in the top row would be taken by Sarah Lycksten and is an example of a photogram cyanotype. This particular picture was printed on fabric which is what the artist is famous for. The compositional technique that would be best applied here would be leading lines from the petals and the stem of the flower. An element that the artist uses well would be line because of the branches that stem off of the flower as well as the lines from the petals. A principle that she used would be contrast because the entire flower fits in the frame and the white of it contrasts with the blue background.

This final image was taken by Gail Erwin in Vietnam and was printed on paper. A compositional technique that the photographer used in this picture would be leading lines and also rule of thirds. The element that would be best applied in this photo would be shape because of the unique architecture used in the buildings in this particular area of the world. Also the principle that was used is emphasis, this is because there is lots of emphasis on the roof tiling and decorations which adds interest to the viewer.
