During this workshop, we discussed ways in which we could photograph spaces and objects, which will be really helpful considering the current conditions we are all currently working under.
We learnt about photographing from different perspectives, which is a technique I think I will use frequently across my project and creates some very interesting and unique images. We looked at example photos which demonstrated different perspectives, such as single-point which creates interesting lines of symmetry in the images. We also discussed using negative space to draw more attention to a singular subject.
We also looked at examples of different points of view to create more interesting photos, such as looking directly up with the camera, or placing the camera at ground level.
An interesting technique we looked at was photographing still life in different ways, to make it more interesting to fit different styles of photography. This is a technique I can definitely see myself applying to my project to add variety across my images and help tell the story.
Overall, I feel as though I really benefited from this seminar as we were taught really interesting ways to use our camera and get unique shots that we can apply to the situation we are in. I feel a lot more confident going into the project and it has sparked some creativity in me.
