Shapes are created due to lines that have come to an end and that have connected with one another. The most common type of shapes are: triangles, squares, circles, stars, ovals and rectangles. A shape will be noticeable straight away if seen through the viewfinder of a camera as most of these are second nature to us (we learned them when we were children).
The good thing to know about shapes is that we use them all the time and as a photographer, one will find it very easy to create groups of shapes in order to perhaps improve a composition or even create a pattern in doing so
