Woyach_Cyan


 * Photographer:** Alexis Dosha
 * Media:** Well worn, stained, embroidered "vintage" cloth napkins.
 * Compositional Technique:** In this artist's cyanotype, the arms and legs of the crabs leads your eyes from the tops to the bottoms of them which uses the leading lines compositional technique. I also thought the author placed the crabs in good positions since they took up all the negative space around them.
 * Elements and Principles of Art:** There's not much texture in this photo since it is silhouettes of crabs although, the author used line by having the crabs legs create different lines. The author incorporated space by spacing out the crabs so they filled up the negative space around them. The author also incorporated contrast by making the crabs a lighter color than their surroundings which makes them really pop out in the photo.

 * Compositional Technique:** For this photo that I took I wrapped a piece of ribbon around a glass bottle to incorporate the leading lines compositional technique which leads the viewer's eyes from point A to B. I also only took a partial photo of the bottle which also helps lead the viewer's eyes off the paper. I took the photo from above so the viewer is almost looking down at the bottle. Lastly, I used the rule of thirds by placing the bottle not so much in the center of the image, but a little to the right of it.
 * Why it Would Make a Good Cyanotype:** I believe this photo would make a good cyanotype because after using a little photo-shop to see what it would look like as a cyanotype, I believe it has the right amount of contrast in the photo and it's not too dark for the viewer to not be able to see the the bottle.

 * Compositional Technique:** For this photo that I took, I took a close-up of a tree so you could see all the branches descending out from the tree.
