The photography project
To round up my daughter’s final art class - she had to do a photography and painting project. In this post, I will share the photography project. She was very happy about it because making photos is an art form that she's always enjoyed.
Every parent is supportive of their children’s creative endeavours and expressions - I am no different. I recall when she made some impressive photos as a child. One could argue that it was random or a fluke and that might have been true. She asked for a camera for her 12th birthday. However, she still makes most photos, including the ones I will share, with her smartphone. As usual a smartphone is more accessible - when something interesting spontaneously presents itself.
The assignment
My daughter had to choose 5 different themes and make photos for each. She chose :
Cut-off composition
Colour family - blue/green
Colour contrast - orange and blue
Movement
Clair-obscur - Light and Dark
The first thing that she did was to look through her camera roll. She already had a lot of photos that fitted with the chosen themes. The rest she made as she went about her daily life. With the themes selected - she was able to focus.
Cut-off composition
This cutoff composition theme is self explanatiory and quite interesting. Seeing only part of an object can leave a lot for one’s own imagination and interpretation.
Colour family - blue/green
This selection shows off various shades of blue and green.
Colour contrast - orange and blue
The following photos highlighting contrasting colours - orange and blue - were taken whilst on a school trip to the Rotterdam Museum Park or en route.
This first image is my daughter's favourite photo from these 5 themes.
Movement
These photos were taken sporadically - not posed but spur of the moment.
Clair-obscur - Light and Dark
The clair obscur effect can dramatise any setting.
As captioned, the pictures were made in a variety of locations. As I was with my daughter most of the time, these photos confirm that as individuals we can observe the same object but see them totally differently. Despite that, I hope that when you see these photos you will enjoy them as much as I do.
All photos are taken by my daughter using her iPhone
