11:00 Leading Lines in Photography

What Are Leading Lines in Photography?

Leading lines are lines that appear in a photograph that have been framed and positioned by the photographer to draw the viewer’s eye towards a specific point of interest. These lines often draw the viewer’s eye in a specific direction or towards a designated portion of the photograph.

4 Types of Leading Lines in Photography

Some of the categories of leading lines include:

Horizontal lines: Horizontal leading lines are often found in nature and landscape photography. Often used when shooting with a wide-angle lens.

Photo Credit: Lance Watson – good example of horizontal lines

Vertical lines: Vertical lines draw the eye up or down the composition and can be used to convey status within your picture. Vertical leading lines are often found in fashion photography and street photography.

Diagonal lines: Diagonal lines are used to create a sense of movement and change. If you’re working with a large depth of field, try experimenting with diagonal lines to accentuate the sense of depth in your image.

Photo Credit: Ryan Bevins – good example of vertical and diagonal lines

Converging lines: If there are converging lines present in your frame, it’s best practice to situate the subject of the image at the axis of these leading lines. A good example of this is Matt’s railroad track image below.

– QUICK READ (4 minutes)

New York Times Year in Pictures 2022 – can you see the compositional photography in the images?

11:15 Morning Photo Walk

About 30 minutes. Using manual mode we’ll head out to the front of the school and near the library. We are going to shoot some foliage and look for some leading lines to guide our compositions. Proper Exposure and in focus subject. So what f/stop would be good for in focus foreground and background?

Assignment / Deliverables:

When we return from our photo walk today:

  • Look through your photos. Pick your best example. Edit as necessary (maybe you shot in RAW)
  • Open in Photoshop and draw on the leading lines you captured. 
  • You will save two jpgs.
  • One without the leading lines drawn in and one with the leading lines drawn in.
  • You’ve done this correctly if your image has drawn leading lines visible on your image
