“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” ~Elliott Erwitt

How will you know what to
talk about in your photograph using the language of photography? We will begin
by learning the language starting now…and will continue on throughout the
semester. Our language and understanding
will develop as we use it. You will list the elements and principles of design

Here are some things to think about as you
find your photo or take your photo. It
is a good idea to talk about the background of the photo. Where did you take
the photo: location- where in the city, province and country. What is the
subject matter in your photo?

subject matter in your photo?
The subject is the main object in the picture;
the subject matter is the topic or context of the picture. If it is a
landscape, it is the landscape itself. If it is a portrait, it is the person in
the portrait. If it is a group of people playing a sport, it is the game. The
subject matter is what you choose to focus on for the picture. And if it is
something like in National Geographic, it might be tribal life, skydiving, hiking, -
it is the subject and the story that the picture tells.
