Photomedia: Documenting/Abstracting an Object and it's Shadows

Photomedia 101 also had a big project turn in on Thursday. It was an accumulation of two assignments the first being 2 photographs that both documented an object as well as abstracted it. The other assignment was a study on light and it's effect on an object and its shadows. We were to discover light that was both hard and soft and begin to learn how to utilize that in a photograph. We then printed these four photographs on the Epsons and matted them.
