Have you ever found yourself with your camera in a place where there is nothing interesting to photograph? The quality of light is poor or the surroundings are boring? Well, that happens to every photographer, but it can be easily turned into a journey of new discoveries.Your objective is to photograph an ordinary object and try to make it look interesting...
Look around your house for something ordinary to shoot. Better yet, open a kitchen drawer and take out any object. Now, shoot it from different angles, up close and in different lighting environments. Experiment!
Walk down the street, stop randomly and look around. Pick an object, study it from different perspectives and then shoot. Play with shadows and light. Get down on the ground or shoot from above. The sky is the limit!
Images must be new and uploaded before the start of your class to be considered on time, and to be eligible for a "Best in Show" award.
You will be graded upon:
-Objective / Concept: Did you creatively solve the problem as independent thinker? Image should be well thought out, planned and executed. Image should be personalized with a unique and meaningful response. Image is new and original (Avoid cliche and stereotypical responses)
-Design: How elegantly do you employ the photographic principles of composition or principles of design in your work?
-Camera Use: Did you use good lighting and is the exposure well focused?
-Presentation : Did you make simple edits in a photo program to adjust levels, crop or clean up the image? Did you upload it to flickr on time?
