And what the hell does “balanced” mean anyway?
A balanced image feels stable, not like it’s too heavy on one side or the other.
Composition is the way that things are arranged in a harmonious way.
BALANCE is a key factor in great composition.
The image on the left is balanced but definitely not symmetrical.
The image on the right is WAYYYY out of balance. The left side of the image is soooo heavy with detail and the negative space makes the image feel very weak on the right.
💎💎. Negative space is important but it has to feel balanced💎💎.
I am so happy this question came up yesterday.
