GOAL: For this project, you will explore different modes of composition by photographing a single subject many different ways.
- There will be 3 parts to this project:
Part 2A (Frame)
Part 2B (Viewpoint)
Part 2C (Rule of Thirds) - You will pick ONE subject. Please be considerate with your object choice. Make it something interesting and unique to you. Do no use your cellphone or car keys or a bag of Doritos.
- You will photograph your single subject utilizing the compositional elements of Frame, Perspective, and the Rule of Thirds. All of the images you create must be of your single subject.
- You may move around in any way you see fit. You may move your subject to a different location or lighting scenario, as long as your subject remains the same.
Part 2A: "FRAME"
20 images shot of one single subject exploring the compositional tool of framing.
-- "FRAME" Practice looking with your camera, and begin to SEE through your view finder as opposed to merely looking. Explore the different aspects of your object (in different locations, lighting, and distance). Be mindful of the edges of your FRAME to emphasize your focal point in your composition. Pay attention to the lines, shapes, and patterns within your frame, and how these can lead the viewer's eye to your subject.
