1981

I see the fish. I see the line going horizontal. The line makes to parts of the photograph. It's very easy to see the line.

Renounce, 1984

I can see leading lines on the bench. The lines are going from the left to the middle. The two poles in the middle which stop the leading lines coming from the left.

Boyd Webb uses line and pattern in the photos because they could be zoomed in.

Robert Doisneau






He was born in 1912 and died in 1994. He was a self taught photographer. He taught himself how to photograph.

He photographed moments of everyday life in Paris. He had dozens of books of his work that were published and had many exhibitions held around the world.

I've looked at the book called Photography, the 50 most influential photographers of all time. Published in 2009. Page 102 to 103.

Children playing in the street in France. 

I can see the lines going down the middle from a street light. I see bricks which are pattern.

The birds, July 1974

Robert Doisneau uses line and pattern because he could see the frame. He looked for objects that were lines and photograph them. I see birds flying from the left to the right in a line.
