For my assignment on the principles of composition I chose a matryoshka doll as my subject with "balance" as my principle. Maybe it's sort of cheating, since we were only supposed to use one subject, but the dolls are all different components of one big doll, and I didn't think it was right to use one without photographing all of them. I thought it would be a perfect object for this principle of composition since every doll becomes proportionally smaller than the other, and that already creates a lot of balance. I used all the dolls as one subject to emphazsize that balance.
