essential skills: digital photography in available light


Assignments


Produce six images that express your emotions and feelings towards a given landscape.
Each of the six images must be part of a single theme or concept and should be viewed as a
whole rather than individually.
People may be included to represent humankind and their interaction with the landscape. The
people may become the focal point of the image, but this is not a character study or environmental
portrait where the location becomes merely the backdrop.
