The photographer of the piece above goes by the name of Imchelaru on flickr. The media the print was printed on wasn't listed in the description of the cyanotype, but I'm guessing it was printed on paper. The compositional technique utilized by the photographer was leading lines. The subject's arms and spine act as leading lines in the photograph. As for elements and principles of art, the artist incorporated specifically texture and movement. There was texture all throughout the piece such as; the hard veins on the subject's hand, the subject's rough fingernails, and the subject's smooth back. I would argue that movement was incorporated into the photograph because, the position the subject is posed in is unnatural.



The photographer of the piece above goes by the name of Lenny&Meriel so I'm not sure if it was Lenny or Meriel who created the cyanotype. The media the print was printed on wasn't listed in the description of the cyanotype, but once again, I'm guessing it was printed on paper. The compositional technique utilized by the photographer was filling the frame. The two pieces of seaweed known as, carragheen fill the photograph's frame. As for elements and principles of art, the artist incorporated shape, balance, and variety. The shape of the two pieces of seaweed is an interest element incorporated by the artist and the balance of the piece is right on. The bigger piece of seaweed is in the bottom right hand corner and the smaller piece of seaweed fits perfectly in the upper left hand corner of the cyanotype. Clearly, the two pieces of carragheen are very different and that adds variety to the piece.
