Form - Definitions

Definition:


the visible shape or configuration of something

Describing Form:
solid, 3D, volume, shape, shadows, dark, presence, dimensional 

 Variety of Form:

Light - The use of form in this photo is displayed through light. Light helps show the 3D nature of form as it highlights the dimensional properties that this object has.The reflection underneath shows a side of the object that cannot be seen unless this was present, while the soft lighting displays the colours and shadows the surrounding areas.


Angle - Angle is used to display form as it is key to showing the different dimensions in this photo. The situation of the camera gives the viewer a point of view of the different leaves on the petal while the focus point is set in the middle so that it is more obvious. The different flowers around show different angles and therefore shows that the flower has different sides.


Shadows in this photo are essential in showing form. On the right side of the woman face, it is bright and the only things highlighted are certain features on her face, like her eyes and certain wrinkles. On the left, it contrasts greatly due to the shadows. The use of black and white also enhances this. 
Sexualising form is shown in this photo due to the topless woman. Shadows are shown in this photo and it shows the women to be seductive. Certain features are highlighted by different shades, which adds to the nature of the photo.
