This week’s prompt was, “Using only natural elements, frame your subject. No actual picture frames allowed.” For this prompt, I decided to go for a walk at Questa park (a local park that is pretty close to my house) to see if I could find some elements of nature to frame my subject with. Recently,…
This week’s prompt was “Trick Photography can be easy with props. Create an interesting effect with simple props.” For this photo, I actually recruited my sister to help me. We took a walk to the park and tried to get photos with several different types of props. We attempted throwing leaves and flowers like cherry…
This week’s prompt was, “Viewpoint: Changing your viewpoint creates a different perspective and is often used by photographers to create interest. Shoot this from the viewpoint of another person.” For this prompt, my thinking got a little abstract. The lantern shown in the picture is found about 10 feet in the air on a path…

This week’s prompt was, “We live in a world surrounded by geometry. Use geometry in your photo this week.” Initially, I focused my shots on manmade structures with very clear geometrical elements, like squares and triangles. However, the photos were not very interesting to me, though they clearly met the prompt. So, I decided to…
This week’s prompt was “use creative angles in your shots.” I had a lot of fun experimenting with this prompt. I ended up in quite a few strange positions while trying to get the right shot, which my dad thought was hilarious. He took a bunch of pictures of me laying on the ground or…
For this photo prompt, we were challenged to learn about the rule of odds and how it can be useful in our photography. Essentially, the rules of odds is based on the idea of trying to organize subjects in groupings or totals that are odd because it makes the photos you take more appealing to…
