Asymmetrical Photos



I approached these photos in a way that allow the viewer to think they have symmetry and balance but also have concepts of asymmetrical photos. The first image uses a mirror to show the viewer a new perspective. The seam of the mirror is where the boundary of the photo is symmetrically divided. On the one side of the mirror is the word love spelled correctly from the viewers perspective while the right side of the photo shows the opposite of the word. It shows the same object on both sides of the seam which adds an idea of symmetry while showing that both sides of the photo don't match. The next photo is divided almost horizontally down the middle but the seam is tilted a tiny bit. This gives the viewer the viewer an opposite view of the object, it shows both the front of the object as well as the object from the back and backwards. The last photo shows a divide of the objects at almost the diagonal across the frame  but it is off by a little. This shows how you can use symmetry while still showing different things on different sides of the image.
