TMI PHOTOGRAPHY I
Project 1: Scavenger Hunt - Elements of Design
The goal of this project is to get you thinking about how to identify the elements of design within your own work. For this project, you will create compositions that display each of the elements of design.
You will turn in 7 final, processed images. Each image will demonstrate one of the elements you see below. You must shoot at least 30 exposures for each element. You will pick your strongest 4 images and print them for critique, which means you'll be learning how to print your work for this project! Hooray!
The Elements of Design are:
“Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.” - Henri Cartier-Bresson
This means that it takes a lot of practice and perseverance to develop your own eye as a photographer and artist. Don’t cheat yourself by not allowing enough time to try new things and experiment.
Happy shooting!
