Assignment #2 Theme: Out Of Focus
Usually, the goal when taking photos is to produce the sharpest, most realistic representation of the “real life” scene you are photographing. So why on Earth would we want to take an intentionally blurred photo? By taking the details out of the equation, we can work on telling a story through the remaining elements of an image – light, form, and colour. Concentrate on those remaining elements and remember that details aren’t always part of the big picture. What story will your photo tell us?

Faces In Places
This exercise is to help you see the world a little differently and to also help you to pay attention to details around you.
You need to photograph 4 different faces in places. These need to be naturally occurring in architecture, objects, clothing, or nature. Look at big things or look at really small things. Look at things sideways or upside down to try and find awesome faces. |
