This cyanotype photo was taken by Ludwig West. I will guess the media this photograph was printed on was watercolor because the photo seems to be printed on a rough type of paper. The artist evidently uses level horizon to give a more realistic feel to the photo, fill the frame to keep the audiences' interest, framing of the girl who is the subject of the photo and leading lines of the trees to direct your attention to the girl, as the branches bend toward her general direction. The artist uses line with the trees, and the girl herself has an odd type of line, which makes her stand out from the simultaneous background, color as the trees surrounding the girl are dark and her dress is purely different from her surroundings, and if there weren't a shadow on her, I would assume the dress would be pure white, space is emphasized by being filled by trees, branches, and the girl who gives in eerie feeling of standing out from the background, pattern is used in the trees, which is why the girl stands out so dramatically and shape as the girls is of a different nature, which ultimately makes her the subject of the photograph. The artist uses emphasis, as the girl looks somewhat out of place being in the woods due to her beauty and her white dress against brown, green, and the shadows being produced. The artist uses this uniqueness to contrast the girl to her environment and helping her to stand out. There is also balance in the trees that frame the girl, making it feel almost symmetrical, but not being so as of the girl's unique placement.



This photogram photograph was taken by an artist named, Rosana Jones. I assume the photograph was printed on regular paper because the image looks like it was printed on a smooth surface. The artist used rule of thirds as there is always something to catch your eye at any of the thirds in the photo and leading lines of the body to direct you throughout the picture. The artist uses line on the girl as her body has it's own natural types of line, whether it be her hair or an individual limb, shape as the girl is unique in her makeup of her body shape, and space is utilized to keep your attention throughout the photo. There is an asymmetrical balance which is clearly emphasized as most of the girl's body lies on the right side of the photo, however, her hand creates a new kind of asymmetrical balance, while there is emphasis on her hand because it's separate from the rest of her body and is clearly standing out from the faded parts of her body.



This cyanotype photo was taken by an artist by the name of Juergen Modis. This picture was likely printed on regular paper, as I can not see any significant marks or patterns to implicate another type of media. The artist used fill the frame and leading lines in her composition, as there is no space that isn't really showing some kind of texture, and the lines of the books and furniture all lead towards the girl who is the focus of the picture, and her legs lead to body, and her arms lead toward her half-hidden face. The artist effectively used line, texture, space and pattern in her composition, as there is evidently a great number of lines, you can clearly see texture in the couch and books, the space is used effectively to not be to distracting from the focus of the photograph and the pattern of the books and the girl's skirt help to emphasize the elemental use of lines. The artist uses the rhythm of lines to fill the space but are not a distraction to the subject of the photo, a symmetrical balance of books but an asymmetrical view of the girl lying on the furniture, and the contrast of the dark books to the lighter tints of the girl and the furniture.
