EX95 Coversations
Photographs when shown and presented near each other talk to each other. There are so many ways that they can talk to each other. These include:
line
hue
tone
shape
story
texture
contrast
comparisons
shape
pattern
reflection
repetition
size
This weeks exercise is rather open for interpretation and execution. In the past we have done exercises on diptyches, and even a project of nine. The diptych exercise is well worth doing if this is the first time you are trying to get two photographs to talk to each other. https://www.lensschool.com/content/ex65-diptych
Last January we did a month long project, the project of nine. You can read about it here https://www.lensschool.com/content/a-project-of-nine-in-january-2020 and you can see the presentation about the work that was submitted about it here https://www.lensschool.com/content/project-of-nine-feedback-and-results
So this weeks exercise is easy for me to describe and perhaps a little harder for you to execute.
In the spirit of learning, hopefully you will create new photographs just for this exercise. This actually makes it easier, rather than searching back through your catalogue for photographs that work together.
Post a maximum of three sets of multiple photographs.
Please present them as one photograph. I use screen capture or the print module to get them to display how I would like them to display.
So your task is to create sets of photographs that talk to each other. It doesn’t matter how many are in the set. Two is enough to start with, and for those feeling more adventurous try a few more.
It is the conversation between the photographs that we will be very interested in seeing. We don’t mind what the conversation is. We just want you to intentionally work on one.
We will discuss this next Friday in our regular zoom meeting.
Post your photographs in our forum here https://lensclub.discussion.community/post/ex95-conversations-11270959?pid=1321638907#post1321638907
