Lesson 4 Assignment

Now it’s time to go above and beyond and photograph a subject with a new perspective. By exceeding expectations you will help yourself guarantee  success. In this case it’s not looking at things in an average way; meaning eye-level, but challenging the norm. By changing your eye-level to high, low, near, far, your photographs will grasp someone’s attention. This will draw them in and give you a chance to share your story. Once you pick a subject look for average shots that other people have taken of the same subject and be different. Since everyone is used to seeing something a certain way, changing your perspective with help change there’s as well. That’s a part of being influential. Be intentional and purposeful before you hit the shutter button or take a photo. When choosing your subject think of things you like. It could be a plant, animal, building, car, or something else. With your smartphone, photograph one subject high, low, near, and far. Remember to turn the smartphone (camera) to take both vertical and horizontal photos.

[EXAMPLE]

Now, in order to go above and beyond, take 10 or more photos of each angle and choose the best one. Chances are that you will not get the perfect shot on the first try. By taking more than one photograph you increase your odds for success. And isn’t that what you want?

Mr. G’s TIP: Bend your knees. Really try to get the best angle of your subject. This may take some extra effort but it will be worth it when your audience sees your photographs.
