I have really enjoyed this first assignment and I haven't even taken a photograph yet! The assignment is to take images with contrasting subjects/idea's from selected categories. 8 pairs of photographs showing 8 different categories, and one final photograph showing both contrasts of a category in one image.
I usually go out and take photographs of what I see, so sitting down and planning photographs, thinking of idea's and compostions, has been totally different to what I have done before and a lotof fun.
Here I've listed the rough idea's exactly as I wrote them down in a notebook, good and bad.
Heavy/light - scales old style, one side weights stacked, other side a feather, but the feather weighs down scales...
High - someone stood on top of a hill looking over a view, 'feel tall'.
Low - big building 'looming over' small person.
Thick/thin - obese? skinny?
Much/little - poor person, rich person. Poor person has loving family, rich person is alone.
