Week 2 Forum
Topic One
Finding Feature Photos:
- Shoot from a unique vantage point- This one is the most doable to me because it's where I need the most improvement and I'll force myself to do it. I have a hard time getting interesting shots so I think this would help the most.
- Examine extremes- I have a problem with this one as well. My photographs are usually taken from boring vantage points. I think it'd help to examine the extremes and explore new things.
I plan on attacking the challenge of shooting from a unique vantage point. I plan on doing so by exploring new angles and taking lots of photos. I feel like the more photos I take from different angles, the more I'll be able to learn. It's all about experimenting to find what does and doesn't work. Another thing that'll help would be looking at other photographers pictures to see what worked for them and what didn't.
Topic Two
Jesse Skoubo
The above photo was shot by Jesse Skoubo for The Gazette Times of Corvallis. It captures 4-year old Cardy, a Cardigan Welsh Corgi being brought in by his owner Andrew Moursund for the Blessing of the Animals at the Episcopal Church of the Good Samaritan. I picked this one because I like how it's a portrait but it was caught at a good angle. I love corgis so this photo sucked me in and with the way it was taken, you know it's going to be about something interesting. The techniques he used includes shooting from a side angle and the feature of the photo is off center but you can easily tell what the focus is. He didn't let the subject look at the camera but caught a ton of personality in the photo.
Questions:
1.) How did discover you liked photography and how did you get into it?
2.) How hard is it to get into what you do? Was it easy or hard for you?
