UnityUnity in an artwork creates a sense of harmony and wholeness, by using similar elements within the composition and placing them in a way that brings them all together. To achieve unity in photography significant planning is necessary, it is unlikely to find a candid shot that expresses unity. To the left the use of the color red and several lines work together to create a sense of unity.

VarietyVariety is the contrast in the objects used to create unity that creates visual interest. To the left the color brown and forms are used to create a sense of unity. The various different forms and the the differing shades of brown create visual variety to create interest in a potentially dull still life.
