Composition

According to http://www.advancingwomen.com/photography/49826.php composition is defined as the combining of distinct parts or elements to form a whole. This site also tells you all about what composition is all about but i find http://www.photographymad.com/pages/view/10-top-photography-composition-rules much easier to understand as it has images to show what it really means and it uses simple language so everyone can understand it and it also contains links to other sites that are related to this subject.

In this photo Perou uses dark colours on the background and light colours on the person to make them stand out. Also at the background there is a splodge of paint that makes it look like it's her hair when its not, which is a good and interesting effect. He uses different textures like the navy metal on the side and the concrete for the background and floor which creates a cold and rough atmosphere. There are lines on the metal on the background concrete and curved lines on the bodysuit, also the area which this photo was took in is a square, all of this creates a very sharp effect.
