Photograph the things you might normally overlook. Explore what is around you and experiment with translating it into a photograph. You will use different visual tools such as line, color and value along with principles of design to create dynamic and successful compositions. Use composition in as many different ways as possible. For each picture you must take at least 3 frames, changing something about the composition each time. Learn to be aware of every element within the frame. In your final group there cannot be more than 2 photographs taken close to the subject. Step back and fill the frame with more so you can learn how to control it. Remember: For this project you should not be focused on photographing beautiful things, but instead, making beautiful photographs.
Requirements:
5-7 final prints
Maximum of 2 close ups
At least 3 frames for each image, changing the composition in each
Digital contact sheets and final photos posted to blog before critique begins
Critique: Thursday, September 29
Some approaches to experiment with:
1. Extreme symmetry and asymmetry
2. Photograph in different types of light
3. Multiple angles of view: shooting from above or below the eye line
4. Shooting from the hip without looking through the viewfinder
5. Using the edge of the frame only with blank centers
6. A frame within a frame
7. Staying in one location for a thirty-minute period
