How to be More Aware of Environment as a Photographer PhotographyVerse Podcast

Heyyyy!
As promised, this week's episode will get your out into the world and taking pictures of what catches your eye! 👀
Alrighty, let's dive right in! Here are a few exercices to help you be more aware of your environment!
Ensure that you photograph with awareness the space in your frame. What you see in your viewfinder is what will be in the image, no more, no less
I want you to keep a focal length of 35mm. It will force you to get close to your subjects. Eliminate anything that could damage the image.
Make the main subject take up as much space as possible in the frame, or even all of the image space
Divide the image into thirds in each direction of the frame and place the highlights of the image at the junction of these lines
Do not erase any image in your camera, sometimes you judge the photos too quickly. Take the time to look at the photos one by one when you get home
You should have approximately 100 to 150 images and approximately 50 separate subjects. You may need to shoot the same subject multiple times to get different points of view and exposure.
This project works:
The composition of the image
Your perspective
Space
Your urban environment
Image perception
Take photos directly in monochrome in your camera
Set your ISO to 200 (400 if it's dark outside).
What to photograph:
You shouldn't literally photograph a shape as it is. You have to structure the image geometrically, so that the entire image has the required shape.
An image that emphasizes the high contrast of light
An image that emphasizes oblique lines (V, A, X compositions)
An image that emphasizes curved lines (S composition: shaped like the letter S so that each point touches the ends of the frame, obliquely from corner to corner)
An image that emphasizes the depth of the image (not the depth of field, but the depth of space photographed using the different planes of the image)
An image that uses over-framing ("frame" in the image - a frame within a frame)
An image that emphasizes symmetry (geometric shapes perfectly balanced from one side of the frame to the other, like a mirror).
A flat or frontal composition
An image that emphasizes textures
As mentioned, you can send me your photos to view them and give you feedback. Post them on Instagram and tag me @korina_joseph_podcast or send them to me via direct messages on Instagram @korina_joseph_podcast
