Point of View

1. Point of View

2. For this assignment you will need to shoot the equivalent to one roll of 36 exposure film. Of course you are free to shoot more. You should make a folder called POV so that you may keep all of the images you shoot for this assignment. I look at them to see if you pursued the assignment in an interesting way. You will need two images to show in class. No prints just yet. In this assignment we are talking about a person’s physical vantage point....not your philosophical point of view. There will be plenty of time to discuss philosophy in this class but for now...we’ll concentrate on “seeing” the world in a way that we normally don’t. As I previously mentioned a major problem with many beginning photographers is they stand at their normal height with their cameras. This frequently is NOT the most interesting place to shoot from visually. I want you to concentrate on shooting from down low...a worm’s eye view or low shooting to up can emphasize size differences. Shooting from up high looking down is not the way we normally experience the world and might present a view that is simply more interesting to look at than normal eye height.
