Pattern
Among the many different elements that make patterns the most powerful patterns are made by shapes. Triangles, Squares and Circles are the basic shapes commonly found in patterns. While triangles and squares produce a tension filled or dynamic effect in the picture, circles and curves produce more pleasing or soothing patterns. In photography patterns could be used in two different ways; one method is to make the pattern the primary subject and the other is to use the patterns as a supporting element to enhance the composition. Pictures that are only comprised of patterns could appear monotonous so the common approach is to use them to strengthen the composition and add interest to the main subject.
