Hidden Faces

For our first assignment on Looking at our environment differently, we are going to look for faces in objects around us.  Look for eyes, nose, mouth, or profiles.​

Most photography is about learning to see things differently. Whether it is shapes, colors, lines, or lighting, a good photographer will be able to capture something that others may not see.

Here are some photos from Studio Likeness.  ​

​

Look around your world for 1 whole day to find objects in their setting that look like faces.  During this time, you can also stage some photos to look like faces similar to the eyeglasses and pen photo above. As said above, the faces can be profile or eyes and nose/mouth or full face-like features.

This is my favorite hidden face that I have taken.  I was at a conservatory in Chicago when I took this photo
