Do you know that we human beings are so used to see things as a whole? Close your eyes and think of a camera. What do you see? A camera with lens connected to a camera body. How about a friend, a chair, a car, a bird, a dog? Are you thinking of the whole thing? Don't worry, you are not abnormal, we are all conditioned to see like that. However, sometimes showing a part could be better than the whole. Especially when we talk about "visual impact" in photography. If you know how to select, sometimes, a part or a "detail" shot of a thing can reveal stronger message than the whole. Of course, it might not always work, but developing new perspectives and be creative is a crucial part of the success in this photography medium. Why not try it.
The followings are some of my experiment on details.
You are expected to get very close to your subject/object. Let's say within one feet of distance. Show only a small part of the "thing." But try to make a sense out of it. Do not take photo of a small part of a plain white wall and make it as a photo, because no person can understand what that is.
Due next Wed. before class.
