Shape - Definition

Shape: the Oxford Dictionary defines shape as the external form, contours or outline of something or someone.

My interpretation: I believe shape to be the outlines and the inside area of the subject of an image. A shape can either be conventionally geometrical (squares, triangles, etc) or irregular (flowers, the human form, etc).

When drawing shapes, you must consider the size and position as well as the shape of the area around it. The shapes created in the spaces between shapes are referred to as negative space.

Below I have included a mind map of key words for shape photography.
