FIVE+-+Holzhauer

I've had a lot of different ideas for this assignment and I'm pretty excited. I intend to photograph a variety of different images. I like the idea of interpreting the assignment literally by photographing objects that actually have a number five in it or that form the shape of a five, but I also want to be more creative and take pictures of things that incorporate the number five such as five of the same object, a five-strand braid, or a size 5 soccer ball. When I edit the images I want to combine a picture that interprets the assignment literally (ex. the actual number 5) with one that has more concept behind it. I've chosen this interpretation because I want the photograph to feel like art, and by including the number five in the picture the viewer will be able to discover the significance and concept behind the image. I have already taken a few photographs over the past weekend but I intend to finish my shooting on Wednesday. I definitely want to shoot some of my photos outside because I like how my pictures turn out when they are taken in natural light, but I also want to take some pictures of everyday objects around the house and school.

My main concept behind this assignment is to be creative and think outside of the box. I tend to follow the guidelines of a project very closely, but this time I want to make the images my own while still following the criteria of the assignment. I will do this by taking pictures of things that I like. I want the pictures to be of everyday objects that everyone recognizes, but that have a more creative interpretation of "five." Right now I'm open to different ideas but I would really like to include soccer in my final image, whether it's a ball, jersey, etc. Overall, I want my final image to have a fun and creative mood. I definitely want my pictures to have a unique point of view because I think this makes the photos more interesting. I also want to focus on filling the frame and rule of thirds.
