Project 2 Planning: Form that gives substance

Project due: 01/22/07

See my Complete Guide to Photography overview to see what these projects are all about.

This project calls for creating an image that portrays depth or volume through light producing a gradation of light to shadow. Lighting can be natural or artificial, with the admonishment to, "Keep lighting simple, not multi-directional."

Again, I've got a pretty broad canvas and it's difficult to choose a subject. But that's the way it's going to be through the first nineteen projects, titled as a group, "The Essential Elements." With my off-camera flash setup and the chilly weather, I think I'll look for something I can do in the studio. Probably a simple still-life. And it'll let me play with my new tripod.

With that in mind, I figure I can knock this out this weekend. Let's make it due this coming Monday, January 22nd, which gives me three or four days. That'll help me catch back up from my slow start.
