photo project IV - A-Z PHOTOS - due date 2-27-15

8. A-Z PHOTOS

THIS IS A GREAT EXERCISE TO PRACTICE STREET PHOTOGRAPHY

Doing this project will open your eyes to the world around you. You will look at things differently and contemplate whether or not you could make a photograph out of everything you see. Looking for objects that form the shape of a letter is no easy task, but can be done if your eyes are open. There are two parts to this; you can do both or just choose one to complete the project.

Letters: Go out and find objects that form the shape of each letter of the alphabet. That’s only 26 letters. Sounds easy enough, but you are not allowed to use actual lettering found on signs or buildings (that would be cheating).

Actions: The goal for this one is to photograph an action that starts with each letter of the alphabet. But here’s the catch: the photograph has to clearly show the action so there is no question about what word is being depicted.

Both: If you’re looking for a big project, photograph the action and the letter to go with it. Arrange the photos together any way you want to create a collage of the alphabet. This could be helpful for school teachers or creating a display for children. Let your imagination take you away on this one.

Time to Complete Project: ~4 hours

< 30 min: Find a location. The best places to consider are those with a lot of architecture and landscaping.
~ 1.5 hours: Photo shoot. To get all the shots you need, you could be there a while. Make a list of what you have photographed so you don’t have to mentally keep track of 26 (or 52 if you’re doing both) images.
~ 2 hour: Rename the photos to match the letter. Edit. Compile. Share online.
