Forums > Back > Ever heard of "sinister diagonals"?
#1
Yesterday I stumbled in an interesting video:

 

"Dynamic symmetry (on dpreview), the genius of Henri Cartier-Bresson's compositions" was a very intersting lesson in composition by diagonals, verticals, horizontals and squares.

 

I was amazed by the idea, a guy could visualize this system of diagonals - and I never heard the term "sinister diagonal" before. I was drawing this grid as a vector graphics and will print it on transparent film to fix it to the LCD. Just to find out if it's helpful for me as well.

 

Nonetheless, some of Cartier-Bresson's samples to me look like a choreography of humans - I've no idea how he could visualize such a moment early enough to catch these kind of pictures.
