6/4 & 6/5: FINAL PROJECT: ABSTRACT PHOTOGRAPHY

ABSTRACT HOMEWORK  ASSIGNMENT:

• Abstract - DUE on 6/11 or 6/12
• Contact Sheet of 24 INTERESTING abstract images (you may need to take more than 24 to get 24 good pictures)

When taking Abstract pictures today, keep the following in mind:

• Think about strong compositions, patterns, lines, shapes, lighting, color, nonrepresentational images (where it is not of something specific, or it is hard to tell what it is).  To achieve this, you may zoom in or try unique angles.
• Throw out the rules of photography.  Experiment. If your camera has experimental settings, you may want to try them.

For this next assignment I want you to throw out all of the "rules" we've discussed in class this semester. This is your chance to be as creative as possible. I would recommend looking for patterns, colors, and shapes when deciding on pictures to take. Also try to take pictures of things you don't normally see in pictures.
