Repetition and Rhythm

Repetition in photography is one of the greatest tools used to make a picture look amazing, and truly makes it worth a thousand words.


In example of repetition and rhythm, There are two pictures below that show both repitition very strongly.


In the first photo, a large military group sits in a rectangular formation, and the photographer angled the picture at one corner of the group, almost straight across to the opposite corner, giving it a slight diamond-shapped appearance. The angle of the photo and the number of people in matching uniforms makes it a very interesting and eye-catching picture, as well as one with a great representation of repetition.


In the second photo, there is a picture of a large group of tiles, reflecting blue, red, black, and white. Though the image in the different tiles vary due to the shape of the tiles, the repeating tiles heading into the distance as well as the complimentary colours and proffessional angle of the picture make this yet another eye-catching photograph, and another great representation of repetition.
