The theme was viewpoint, asking us to shoot this from the viewpoint of another person in order to create interest. I portrayed the attention my dog displays when shown one of his favorite toys, adjusting the color levels in order to replicate what he’d see since dogs are red-green colorblind.

For this week’s challenge, we had to use color adjustment to create movie-like pictures. I wanted to create a warm and dramatic scene by using color grading while enhancing my dog’s presence in the scene.

For this challenge, we had to use the rule of odds in architecture. I went outside and framed the roof of a building using three elements as the focus: the two sets of pillars and a lantern.

This week’s task was to take a photo showing the rule of thirds to portray emotion. I captured my dad’s warmth as he cooked lunch, having him take up the entirety of the right column of thirds. I’m extremely lucky to have two parents who not only take time off their days to cook but…

For this week, we had to fill the frame with a single color. I decided to frame my mom’s beautiful orchids in front of a blue background, highlighting its little variations of cyan and blue. I decided to keep the stems their original green to add some contrast.

I was drawn to how you could see a plant’s silhouette through the windows. For this shot, I tilted my camera to get diagonal lines and frame a building’s geometry in a more interesting way.

For this photo challenge, we were supposed to use leading lines when photographing food. I arranged pita bread and falafel plates so they were both rotated diagonally, facing the camera, while also having the other plates parallel to them.

For this challenge, we had to use our Speedlite in a creative way. I took a picture of my dog holding his favorite toy as he looked up into the flash.

For this picture, we had to create a powerful landscape using negative space. I decided to frame a family on their boat rowing through a lake with the negative space of the water and clouds.
