#42 What Is Juxtaposition, Contrast & Figure To Ground


Listen Later

This episode is the audio extracted from a YouTube video delivered as part of a 30 day Live series on YouTube, delivering photo composition every day. I selected this episode to share on the podcast as you do not really need to see the visuals to get great value out of this one. 

We explore the definition and examples of juxtaposition, contrast and the design concept figure to ground. 

The most simple definition of juxtaposition is the contrast of two things. The use of the figure to ground concept in photography is having a separation between the subject (figure) and background (ground). This separation can be created through isolation or contrasts in colours, tones, textures, shapes, alignments, directions, heights, and sizes. We go deep in this one.
