Image Compositing

Hybrid imagery is two or multiple images being used to make one image. These types of photos are created to make the viewer more interested in the image. This rule is four lines intersecting at certain points and is said if you make the main subject on one of the intersecting lines than the photo will have more impact, in some cases the rule can be broken only if there is a better impact not to follow it. The rule of thirds is used to make the photo "more balanced and will enable a viewer of the image to interact with it more naturally," stated in an article named Rule of Thirds by Darren Rowse. I agree with this because many of photos taken that use the rule of thirds and are very more interesting. One example of using the rule of thirds would be incorrectly framing wrong and having the subject not exactly on the intersection. Professional photographers think about what they want to include in the photo and what not to. I believe some photos should be edited with a good reasoning. If the photographer believes the photo needs more or less color than that would be a good reason. Another example would be if the photo has too much exposure to the sun than the photographer would lower the brightness to give the photo more quality.

The strongest message I want to communicate through my best composite image concept would be "With growth comes peace." I chose this as my best image composite because we become more accepting of who we are and become at peace with it and express it even more. In one of my images there is a hand doing a peace sign using flat angle, than in a couple more images there is flowers with a semi blurry background. My image will communicate this message because the hand will represent peace and usually flowers symbolizes growth. I made the background behind the hand black so the focus point is peace sign with flowers growing out of it. I anticipate the location where the viewers eyes will go to the flowers first because the contrast of the yellow is bolder than the peace sign.
