May Proximity
Week 18
At arm's reach
Get close enough that you could touch what you're photographing. Maybe give macro a try.
Week 19
Kept at a distance
Find something you cannot get to. Look at the separation as the subject.
Week 20
Crowded
Things packed in tight. Pay attention to what compactness does to the details.
Week 21
Isolated
One subject with real, deliberate space around it. Consider what that alone communicates.
Artist Spotlight · May
