The Elements and Principles of Art

When I was taking the photos for my slideshow, I decided to just keep my camera around and capture whatever I came across and was inspired by instead of searching, which is what I usually do. After this process, I found that I instinctively incorporate elements and principles, and I think we all do as artists. Looking through my photographs I could see evidence of more than one principle and element in each image and, again, I think this just happens naturally.

Since I was traveling this past weekend I had opportunities to shoot at many different locations, both inside (with natural and artificial lighting) and outside. I prefer to shoot with natural lighting because I find it more difficult to create good pictures with artificial lighting--I run into a lot of issues with harsh shadows. With these photos, I tried to vary my point of view as much as possible.
