Photographing
the world from a different point of view.
An exercise in photographing the world from a different point of view
- Using unique camera positioning and abstraction, I want you to approach the world from a different point of view. Instead of photographing a subject or landscape from a vertical standing position, I want you to dramatically change the positioning of the camera and your own body.
Some examples would be photograph from the floor (ants point of view), or from a high vantage point (birds eye view). I would also suggest getting very close to a subject and/or using in-camera cropping to create an interesting composition. Pay attention to F-stop/AV function, which deal directly with camera focus.
Through utilizing a different point of view, you will be challenging the traditional way you may photography people, places and things in your every day life. Use Photoshop or Picasa to edit your images, as well as a local photo center to print out your work.
What to bring on critique day: I want you to present 4 different photos that abstract a subject and challenge the viewers perception of every day items or people. All images need to be 8x10 inches or larger (you may want to select 8x12 inches with your printer for crop factor). Please arrive early to install your work. Grading will be based on composition, content, execution of idea and class participation.
Reminder: Your ISO should be set to 100 for outdoors, and 400+ for indoors.
AV on your camera means Aperture Priority (F-stop).
TV on your camera means Shutter Speed priority.
