As some of you may know I am taking a photography class this semester. I am loving it, completely! My instructor is challenging us to look at our every day world in ways that are creative and new. This is our fifth week of class and our second official project. Our assignment: Light as a Subject.
Many of you are probably thinking "What? Light a subject?" Yes folks this is indeed actually possible. Think about it. How much does light have an effect on a picture? Too much light and the picture can be ruined. Too little light and the same can happen, ruined pictures. However just the right amount of light and the picture can be a perfect captured moment in time. So how do we use light as our subject?
Light. It's an amazing thing. So how can you capture light in a picture? Ever think about shadows? Or icicles glistening in the sun? How about a person looking out a window with the sun shining through? These are all examples of light and how light affects our everyday life. So really, in this project, the subject matter is not the concern, but instead the light that is used to create the image. Take a look around and explore what new different ways you can see light in. After after all a picture, in Greek, translates to "to write with light."
