CRITIQUE: FORMS (SHAPES) IN NATURE
THEY RESULT FROM THE COMBINATION OF LINES AND ANGLES. THEY CAN BE REAL OR IMPLIED. “A shape exists as a being or object, both which possess lines, mass and often a silhouette we struggle to recognize… Geometric shapes (forms} are the fundamental elements of a photograph. With the color and tone, they are the fundamental elements which we really need. As soon as we start to perceive a photograph as a set of geometric shapes, tones, and color, we stop imaging it from our own detailed perspective and analyze its basic structure, or skeleton. For instance, a fish or animal is no longer seen as a portrait but a series of geometric shapes. You must add the emotional expressions, the texture of the fur plumage, or scales and play with the light to produce a quality picture.
