SUBJECTS
THE SET SUBJECTS FOR 2024:
JANUARY
Forced Perspective
Image must demonstrate the power of perspective in that the perspective of an image determines what kind of story you want to tell and what kind of mood you want viewers to feel when they look at a photo. The power of perspective is beyond the consideration of your photography subjects; it is about the angle of your camera, your proximity to the subjects and what you include in the frame that plays an important role in your final image.
