STRONG PHOTOGRAPHY

For this week’s photo challenge assignment, you will take two photos using the concept of point of view. Point of the view is the angle through which we view the subject in a photograph. It can be a normal point of view, from our standing eye level, but this week we want to MESS WITH POINT OF VIEW by getting an unusual angle. By getting an unusual angle, crawling around on the floor, getting on a safe high place, we can view the world in an unusual way and give the viewer this unusual take on reality.

Practice Photos will be due on Wednesday, 9/21 Final Photos will be due on Friday, 9/23
