Pattern Definition

Pattern is an underlying structure that organizes surfaces or structures in a consistent, regular manner.

Pattern can be described as a repeating unit of shape or form, but it can also be thought of as the "skeleton" that
organises the parts of a composition.

Patterns are simply repeated shapes, colours or objects, ordered in either regular or irregular formations. As a

photographer, using pattern is key to good composition and, when used effectively, can transform an otherwise

bland image into something dramatic and eye catching. Patterns are formulated all around us - in both natural

and man made settings. 

This image related to pattern because it shows us a continuous shape being produced throughout the

picture. The photographer has used different elements of light such as dark and light throughout the

picture to create a better effect. Although there are different elements of light the pater is still being

clearly seen.

Regular Patterns

Some of the most rewarding patterns to shoot consist of shapes, lines or colours that repeat in a strict formation.

Filling a frame with clear-cut lines or a consistent geometric formation.

This image relates to regular patterns because the cars are all repeated in the same pattern. This image

is also abstract because although we can tell it is cars from a birds eye view we can also maybe 

interpret it as something else.

Irregular Patterns
There is often the presumption that a pattern has to involve straight lines to produce something recognisable as a
pattern, but this is not the case.
In the natural world, patterns can be found in irregular formations and, in direct contrast to regular formations.

This image represents a irregular pattern because it is not the same shape, line or colour being repeated over

again. This is from the natural world and this links to irregular patterns because the natural world doesn't always

consist of regular patterns it mainly consists of irregular patterns.
