Seeing Through A Different Lens

For our first assignment on looking at our environment differently, we are going to look for faces or letters in objects around us. 

You can choose to look for faces or the alphabet:

  • Look for eyes, nose, mouth, or profiles​

  • Look for letters in objects

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.

Look around your world for 1 whole day to find objects in their setting that look like faces or letters.  During this time, you can also stage some photos to look like faces/letters. As said above, the faces can be profile, 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
