If you answered yes, you\u2019re already finding ways to use <strong>radial balance<\/strong> in your photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re new to the concept of radial balance, here\u2019s a little background on what it is, why it draws a viewer\u2019s attention, and how to achieve it in your shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"573\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/radial-balance-star-lightbulb-1024x573.jpg\" alt=\"radial balance in photography star lightbulb\" class=\"wp-image-84109\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/radial-balance-star-lightbulb-1024x573.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/radial-balance-star-lightbulb-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/radial-balance-star-lightbulb.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by Dan Gold on Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Radial Balance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many types of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/what-is-balance-in-photography\/\">balance in the visual arts<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/how-to-use-symmetry-in-photography\/\">Symmetrical balance<\/a> occurs when an image or design is mirrored across a horizontal or vertical axis. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/what-is-asymmetrical-balance-in-photography\/\">Asymmetrical balance<\/a> happens when elements of an image don\u2019t strictly mirror each other, but their placement still creates a sense of visual balance. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/faq-what-is-the-rule-of-thirds\/\">rule of thirds<\/a> often relies on asymmetrical balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Radial balance is defined as a type of visual balance where portions of the image radiate or extend from a central point in the frame. It is often symmetrical across both the horizontal and vertical axis, but strict symmetry isn\u2019t always required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Radial Balance Examples<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A bicycle wheel is a great example of an object that features both radial balance and radial symmetry. The wheel&#8217;s symmetrical balance spans both the horizontal and vertical central axis. It features several geometric shapes that radiate from a central point, creating visual interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Images with symmetrical balance are soothing and pleasing because they traditionally feature symmetrical balance and guide the viewer\u2019s eye to a central focal point. If you\u2019ve never experimented with radial balance or radial symmetry in your photography, it can be a great way to practice observing and capturing multiple principles of design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Tradition of Radial Balance in Art<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Photography is far from the first art form to use symmetry. Petroglyphs, stone circles like Stonehenge, classic architectural elements like cupolas and spires, stained glass windows, and mandalas all make use of radial balance to create visual weight and engage the viewer\u2019s eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because radial symmetry is so often found in art, you\u2019re subconsciously trained to see it and engage with it, so adding radial balance to your photographic tool kit should be relatively easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/radial-balance-palm-leafe-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"palm leaf plant radial balance\" class=\"wp-image-84108\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/radial-balance-palm-leafe-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/radial-balance-palm-leafe-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/radial-balance-palm-leafe.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by Lisa Yount on Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Look for Radial Balance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the most obvious sources of radial balance are the geometric shapes we see out in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Circular elements are common in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/best-nature-photography-tips-tricks\/\">nature<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/outdoor-architecture-photography-tips-for-beginners\/\">architecture<\/a>, so whether you\u2019re going for a walk on the beach or a stroll in the city, you\u2019ll likely see circular visual elements everywhere. Circles in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/outdoor-architecture-photography-tips-for-beginners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">architecture<\/a> occur overhead in skylights or domed ceilings, or below in floor tiles, so make sure to look both up and down as you hunt for circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spirals and Other Radial Shapes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Spirals are another great source of symmetrical balance, and they\u2019re easy to find. Have you ever noticed how satisfying it is to photograph a spiral staircase from above? Spirals draw the viewer\u2019s eye around and around through the frame. They are among the most engaging shapes. You can also find spirals in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/flower-photography-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">flowers,<\/a> seashells, and unfurling ferns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other interesting geometric shapes like starbursts, octagons, and pinwheels are easy to find with a little practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Composing Your Images with Radial Balance in Mind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve selected a subject to photograph, look through the viewfinder and experiment with composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does the image feel stronger if the circular element is centered in the frame? How would your shot look if you zoomed in to fill the frame with your subject? Do you need to see the whole subject or does its visual interest carry your eye to the edges of the image and beyond?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/radial-balance-doors-wall-star-mural-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"door star wall mural\" class=\"wp-image-84107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/radial-balance-doors-wall-star-mural-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/radial-balance-doors-wall-star-mural-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/radial-balance-doors-wall-star-mural.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by henry perks on Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be Creative with Radial Shapes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no right or wrong way to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/basic-photography-composition-techniques\/\">compose a photograph<\/a>. Just because your subject features radial symmetry doesn\u2019t mean you need to photograph it in a symmetrical way. Sometimes shot will work better with perfect symmetry. Meanwhile, others will work best when shot with asymmetry in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you practice spotting, exploring, and photographing radial balance, take multiple shots of each subject so you can compare the results later. When you pick a shot that feels right, ask yourself: what is it about the image that works so well? Eventually, photographing radial symmetry will come naturally to you, and you\u2019ll even start to do it subconsciously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re new to the
