As we explore our world and surroundings, we capture images and memories of our everyday life.
Selfie
Do I need to explain?
Check out Finnish artist’s Iiu Susiraja, Anti-Selfies
Reflection-
Create a self-portrait that incorporates your reflection. Scan your environment and discover your reflection in windows, glass objects, liquids, or shiny utensils and objects. We’ve all seen too many bathroom mirrors selfies; please spare us.
Shadow-
Each morning I appear
To lie at your feet,
All day I will follow
No matter how fast you run,
Yet I nearly perish
In the midday sun.
To lie at your feet,
All day I will follow
No matter how fast you run,
Yet I nearly perish
In the midday sun.
Find an interesting location to capture your shadow. Think about location and again your surroundings.
How do the shadows differ throughout the day?
A Walk in Nature
Go for a walk in nature and photograph from a meditative state of mind. Shoot wide shots of nature as well as close-up details.
Head in the Clouds
Record the sky whether it be the sunrise, sunset or cloud formations.
I took a workshop with Alessandra Cave and was motivated to pick up a camera. This project was inspired from sections of her book, Shooting with Soul and by what I found from looking through the lens (even if it is an iphone) and hunting for the right shot. It’s a scavenger hunt of sorts but it’s also a time for you to reflect on your perception of the world and how you communicate that though images.
You will start this assignment today and send me your 5 bestphotos @ mkenny@sierranevada.edu
The five photos will address each of the above subjects.
Save your images- do not delete them, just in case I am unable to upload, didn’t receive, etc. We will look at the photos on an upcoming content day and incorporate them in an assignment.
