Mergers

Mergers

Mergers are created when key parts of an image overlap each other or touch another key element in the picture.

There are 2 basic forms of mergers...


Good mergers help advance the theme of a photograph and keep the viewer’s eye moving in the right direction. They have careful and thoughtful arrangement of the subjects being used in the photos to create successful composition.
These types of mergers are normally planned/staged by the photographer.

Bad mergers disrupt the flow of a composition. They create jarring collisions between two or more compositional elements, interrupting the desired eye movement or adversely changing the motion.

  1. I don't think that's a good example of a merger because the subject looses it's focus because of the other giraffe.

  2. I dont think this is a good example of a merger because can you see the second giraffe behind the 1st one. therefore, the image doesn't have a main subject or a main focus

  3. This is not a good example of merger because the second giraffe is not really smaller or bigger its more like its just their and taken during perfect timing but still not really perfect.
