Camera Angle Grid

How can you take a really great photo of one subject? Photograph it a ton! There are two different schools of though with photography: either we plan out every single shot and take very few photos, or on the contrary, we photograph until we get the best image. For this project you are going to photograph one subject with several different camera angles to give yourself a final grid of imagery—and maybe you'll find you like one best image but the idea is to create a whole grid. This is a practice in angles, composition, cropping in camera, and layout. 

Assignment:

You must photograph 3 different singular objects of interest, so try and make them something that keeps your interest. Each object should have at least 15 frames while photographing (you don't need to use them all) and you will be creating 3 different 6-12 frame grids to pass in like the ones you see above and below. 

Steps:

• Make sure you like the objects you choose, keeping it smaller is helpful because you can photograph "in the round" by physically walking around the object (or turning the object).
• Think about making a little home studio by bending a piece of paper as the background
• Make sure if not making your own home studio that your background isn't distracting
• Lighting is important here, think about natural light and taking that object to the window to get natural light...better yet, take the object outside to get great light with your mini homemade studio
