Get Close Pre-Assignment

Getting really close to an object means focusing with your camera on one thing and having everything else blurred out. We are also using flash to make the picture clearer. I'm excited to do this assignment and really learn how to focus on one thing and still make it look very artistic, especially when it is in black and white. I think this assignment should be fun and a good learning experience for future photos I will be taking. We looked at some examples from the photographer Imogene Cunningham (in my previous blog post I talked about her work). Most of her photos are taken from a very close angle and looking at her photos gave us a good example on what this assignment is about. More about Imogene Cunningham can be found in my previous blog post.
