LIGHT
To do: Shoot interesting images in a variety of lighting situations. You must have at least three examples of each of the below themes on your contact sheet. Explore different places, subjects, light sources, etc. Try various camera angles. Don't just take landscape shots. Experiment and have fun!
Silhouette: A silhouette is a well defined black shape that stands out against a brightly lit background. A silhouette is produced when we take a photograph of a subject that has strong back lighting. The subject will be darker than the bright background. Of course, in a silhouette it is the shape of the subject that makes the photo interesting.
Shadow: Take a look around for shadows and record them on film. You could show the shadow as the total focus of the image. Find a scene where shadows make interesting patterns or shapes. Take time to explore the "dark side".
Reflection: Take photographs where reflection of light is the main composition or interest point. Look at how things reflect light and how a reflection point in a photo can add major interest. The idea is to look for reflections in any shiny item, liquids, highly polished surfaces, etc, not only on classical mirrors, try to get the reflection clearly.
Night: The only rule is, the photos must be taken at night. The main goal isn’t to take photos in your basement at night time, the purpose of this assignment is to go out and capture the life, movement, mystery and behaviors surfacing after the sun sets...
Go out and explore!
