Repetition usually suggests boredom. Usually too much of a good thing isn't! In photography repeating objects can create wonderful patterns and textures.
- Fill your picture frame to the edge with objects. This will create the illusion of size and suggest there are many more of the object beyond the photographs edge. This is called a "Bleed".
- Any repeated objects should work. Consider the concept of "Gradation" where objects get smaller as they recede into space.
- Try "Breaking a Pattern" by including one different object surrounded by the similar objects. This creates an area of "Emphasis"
If your haven't noticed, we are talking about some of the principles of design. Hopefully you still remember these concepts from your earlier Studio in Art experience.
