The notes for this assignment read:
“On OCA photography courses you’ll often be asked to submit a series for an assignment. Like the examples in Project 2, a series should reflect a single coherent idea, even though the individual photographs will be unique. For this assignment you’ll make a collection of photographs using a combination of lens techniques that you’ll decide for yourself. Your tutor will evaluate the series in terms of its technical skill but also on how well the assignment works as a whole.”
Brief:
“Create a series of between six and ten photographs from one of the following options, or a subject of your own choosing:
- Crowds
- Views
- Heads
Use the exercises from Part Two as a starting point to test out combinations of focal length, aperture and viewpoint for the set. Decide upon a single format, either vertical or horizontal. You should keep to the same combination throughout to lend coherence to the series.”
My Choice of Subject
As an enthusiastic amateur sport diver I am aware that many divers have small collections of objects they have found on ship-wrecks and recovered to the surface. I have decided to choose my own subject for this project and photograph objects from such collections. The background to this and the reason I consider it important I will explain in my next post.
