1. Variety and Contrast

5. Contrast What is Contrast? Contrast is when two related elements are different. For example the colors black and white. They are related being that they are both colors, but different because one is light (white) while the other is dark (black). Contrast can also be defined as being the opposite. This photo represents a basic and obvious example of contrast. The background of the image is light but the table cloth is dark. You can also notice the shadow on the left side of the objects and the light on the other. In this photo there is also a contrast in the shadow and lighting. At the top portion of the picture you can see a brighter and lighter appearance in color while the bottom is darker. This photo also exemplifies a contrast in height and flatness. The top portion is flat in comparison to the bottom which gives more dimension in the skirt and bottom half.
