For photographer Philotheus Nisch, his chosen medium goes beyond the usual love of capturing a moment in time – he believes photography is at the root of everything. “So many things exist to end up as a photograph,” he remarks, “even a lot of our actions… It happens a lot, that I see things or create certain set-ups that I would like to be eternal. For me, taking a picture of it is the most immediate approach to that issue.”

Light, shadow, motion and the human figure

Dynamic tension is a way of using the energy and movement available in various features of the frame to draw the eye out of the picture in contrasting directions. We've already looked at a variety of different lines that you can use in a photo to make it more interesting, but dynamic tension takes these lines and adds varying degrees of contrast between them, making them much more interesting.
