Assignment: People, Places, Things
Choose one of the following categories for this project: People, Places, Things
Some of your images may overlap two or more categories, but try to focus your efforts on one primary subject, concept or idea as best you can.
For a given category, ask yourself how you can approach the topic more specifically. For example, if your category is “people,” to whom in particular, are you referring?
"People"
Will you choose a single person, a group of people, or some sort of other category involving people?
Examples (please make up your own):
- Portraits of people who inspire me
- Portraits of roommate first thing in the morning
- People watching TV
- Portraits of people wearing purple
- People sleeping
- ...
"Places"... be specific. Some examples:
- Where I like to walk
- Places I find beautiful
- Rustic places
- Houses that I wish were mine
- Where I've had picnics
- Places where I've broken the law
- ...
"Things"... be specific. Some examples:
- My most prized possessions
- Things I wish were mine
- Things that repulse or disgust me
- Cakes I like to bake
- Junk foods I can't resist
- ...
Best to shoot with plenty of natural light/daylight.
Consider best depth-of-field choices
Please remember some of the compositional strategies:
- Go beyond central placement (a few examples are okay)
- Rule of thirds, unusual placements within frame
- Leading lines
- Use of edges and corners
- Awareness of background distractions
- Abstraction or unusual cropping
- All over
