Composition Book- Final Portfolio

For the Composition Book project, we were assigned to take pictures using a certain composition principle. For example, the first picture of the orchids is using the composition principle of Simple Background and Strong Subject. I think that this project was beneficial in that it encouraged us to take a lot of photos, and while providing a specific guideline for the type of photo to be taken. I did think that it got more difficult as the project progressed, as it became difficult to take that many proofs of multiple assignments, often in one night. I also felt as if I was running out of ideas and things to take pictures of later in the project. Therefore, I think that this project challenged me to be creative in finding subjects to shoot.
