Shape Definition Post

A shape is an area enclosed by a line. It could be just an outline or it could be shaded in.
Shapes can be either geometric, like a circle, square or triangle, or irregular.

When drawing shapes, you must consider the size and position as well as the shape of the area around it. The shapes created in the spaces between shapes are referred to as negative space.

Bill Brandt is a photographer who's main focus is on identifying and showing different shapes in his images. He looks at the human figure and objects but he mostly focuses on the female figure. He also uses and manipulates the negative space in the image to emphasise and enhance the effect the shape has on the image.
