Task ninteen: Camera: Pattern

Tea cup ballet, by Olive Cotton, 1935

Life is full of patterns and repetition.

Two techniques come into practice while working with patterns; you can emphasise the pattern, or you can break it:

Emphasising a pattern can accentuate a sense of scale and expansion. The idea is to zoom in onto the pattern and fill the frame with it. 

Breaking a pattern is all about finding an object that disrupts the continuous flow of a pattern. It can be an object that is in clear contrast with the rest of the objects; be it in shape, color, or even texture.  You can also play with your depth of field. Have the contrasting item in sharp focus and the items around it fading slowly into the out-of-focus.
