I took some pictures of our sales and marketing people. I haven’t had time to go through all of them but the image above show some of the images I took. I was asked to photograph subjects like “closing a deal”, “business meeting” etc. There are about a hundred pictures on my computer to edit and select from. I hope I can find time to finish this project soon as I have plenty of other tasks waiting to get done. (more…)
The objective of this exercise is to photograph a group of objects and to find how a group of objects implies a network of lines and can create a shape. This exercise put my skills on test to group the objects so that they are linked attractively in a relationship that is active rather than obvious and static.

So I finally published my first assignment. To help my tutor follow my progress, I decided to add each new assignment as a page in my blog. In this way the assignments are not lost among the other posts. You are welcome to check it out. The link is in the sidebar on the right or use this link Assingment 1: Contrasts
Contrasts, rounded
I’m currently preparing my first assignment. This assignment is about finding contrasts like long/short, still/moving, straight/curved. I have noticed that when I have a project like this my mind starts to work on a subconscious level. I start to see “curves” everywhere and “smooth” or “rough”.
Inside the "Color sphere"
I just found the eyewitness photographs on the Guardian site. There are some really amazing photographs and what I found interesting is the “Pro tip” beside every photograph explaining what makes the photograph good. There is good advice about lighting, lens choice etc. Some of the info is quite obvious but it’s good to read something of the photograph. Otherwise it’s too easy to browse the photographs quickly and not pay attention why the photograph feels good. I like to see good photographs taken by others and I always try to analyze the photograph with the knowledge I have and try to explain myself why I like it or don’t like. I also find it inspiring and I get more ideas for my own photography.
panoramic image made of 5 different images
This exercise was about cropping and recomposing an image. I chose three of my old photographs and as I examined them, I tried to find a better composition or balance. Sometimes it is a good (or even only) method to remove distracting details from an image. These images show no such example but for example in my pictures from Drag race (Nitro Nationals 2011) elsewhere in my blog, I had to crop some images to remove unwanted details from the foreground.

This exercise was to photograph the same location twice. First taking 20 photographs vertical and then analyze the images. Then return to the location and take next 20 photographs horizontal of every vertical composition I took in the first time. (more…)
