HARMONIC ARMATURE

15_harmonic_armature.png

The Harmonic Armature is a compositional framework that uses a grid of intersecting lines to create balance, rhythm, and harmony in an image. At its core, it features vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines that divide the frame into proportional sections, guiding the placement of subjects and supporting elements. The main subject is typically aligned along a diagonal or at an intersection where lines meet, naturally drawing the viewer’s eye while maintaining balance. Supporting elements are positioned along the remaining lines to create flow and cohesion, emphasizing the relationships between objects and enhancing the overall structure of the composition. This technique ensures the scene feels intentional, visually pleasing, and intuitively engaging.
