TWO YEARS GONE BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC BUT NOW BACK BETTER THAN EVER.


PHOTOGRAPHY x VISUAL DESIGN


Photography isn't just about light.
Of equal importance is the message the photograph conveys.

The best way to communicate to our audience
is through the visual language that we use.
The more pronounced the design elements, 
the stronger the connection we establish.
The stronger the imagery, the more effective
the message gets across.

In this exhibit we highlight
the major visual design elements
widely used in photography composition.

9 Elements.
9 Photos for each.

On our 9th Anniversary event.
