technique115 Asymmetrical balance

May 10th, 2021
I would like to thank Taffy @taffy for hosting technique challenge114 “Long exposure” and all 365's who voted for me and the other finalists; such a great community. I was told that the first part is quite easy. Well... as a newbie I think all first things present a challenge. I took a look at the previous techniques and there were so many that I had never heard of before and offered a really good starting point to learn more.

I would like to set the next technique challenge : Asymmetrical balance. A quick google definition states, “When a photo is asymmetrical, it has unequal visual weight on either side. But those visual elements balance out each other. This means that an asymmetrical photo still follows the rules of composition. It's all about manipulating the visual weight of the elements.”

I do not know if this technique is known by some other name but I kind of liked the online photographs that are tagged under this category.

I found a good article by Dora Jokkel about this technique at: https://expertphotography.com/asymmetrical-balance-photography/#:~:text=When%20a%20photo%20is%20asymmetrical,follows%20the%20rules%20of%20composition.
