EXERCISE

Point of View
Assignment: Photograph a single
subject from several different angles.
At least two final prints should be
produced.
Goal: See how many good compositions you can produce by looking at
your subject from all sides: front,
back, right side, left side, top, bottom, even up close and far away.
Tips: Use lighting as well as position
to add variety and interest to this
assignment. Try shooting early or late
in the day to make use of dramatic
light and long shadows. Alternatively, you might want to set up some
kind of light source (such as a
spotlight) to produce ypur own
lighting effects. Most importantly,
shoot a lot of film, at least one entire roll.
