Story, perspective and colour with your camera
3 h€ 20 Active
Three compact photography challenges that train your eye: tell a story in five photos, circle an object and hunt for colour.
Constraints make you sharper. Start by telling a story in just five photos: it calls for planning, creativity and an eye for detail, but it doesn't have to be complex. Simple can be surprisingly powerful. Then pick an object that fascinates you and photograph it from at least ten different angles. Play with light and shadow to make every shot unique.
The third challenge is all about colour. Choose a colour as your theme and spend the whole weekend taking photos in which that colour plays the leading role. It teaches you to engage more thoughtfully with colour composition and suddenly makes you see your surroundings in a new way. Three compact assignments that train your eye without requiring you to go far.
Tell a story with exactly five photos that together form a whole.
