11: Balance in Holiday Traditions

16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS

My picture is about traditions in Chinese New Year — The Spring Festival. We have the tradition of decorating the house with objects that mean good fortune to bless the next year being well. The character “fu” (which means “blessing”) and the color red are especially popular.

I achieved balance compositionally by placing the model in the middle diagonally, and the white lines formed by the projector also helped to divide the picture and formed divisions in this scene.
