My World Assignment
For this assignment, I want you to take photographs of your world. These images may be of your neighborhood, hobbies, home, culture, and/or really anything that you would like to share about your life, interests, and personality. For this project, you will be required to shoot everyday and use any available digital camera. Try to shoot at least 5-10 images each day.
When making your daily photographs, consider photographing something that you weren’t expecting to see, something you enjoy seeing everyday, the places, people, and things around you. Think about how photography can elevate the ordinary or how the camera can be used like a visual diary. Shoot several photographs throughout the day and then select your favorite from each day to post to your blog and turn in for critique. You will do this for five CONSECUTIVE days. Be thoughtful about your photographs and shoot with intention.
Hint: For images to be successful, you will need to slow down and shoot a lot of images.
Things to ask yourself when shooting:
· How is the photograph framed and why?
· Is the light quality working for you or against you?
· What would happen if you stepped back 10 feet or got closer to your subject? Or if you stood on a chair or
were to lie on the ground?
· Why are you interested in the photograph you just made – and if you are not interested in it, why and what
could you do to change that?
Assignments Criteria:
· Shoot Everyday – To complete this assignment on time you must begin by Monday, September 5, 2013
· At the end of each day, Review your photographs
· Select the photograph you are the most excited about from each day – Even if you are excited about multiple photographs from one day (which I hope is the case!) you still must select only one photograph
· Upload your 5 Fav photos to your blog in 1 blog post: Title post as “My World”
Due: Friday, September 6, 2013
