what is the challenge?
For this challenge, we have to take photographs from unusual angles and train our eyes to interpret objects from different angles. By the end of it, we should have a better understanding on angles and how to look at objects differently.
Brassaï
Brassaï is a Hungarian–French photographer, sculptor, writer, and filmmaker from 1899-1984. He was born in Romania but moved to Paris later on in life. He rose to international fame in France in the 20th century and was one of many Hungarian artists to flourish in Paris between the World Wars. Brassaï's best known photographs are from the 1930s and display Paris's darker side. The images above were taken in 1932 and were apart of a series called Sculpture Involontaries.
Berenice abbott
Berenice Abbott was an American photographer from 1898 to 1991. She was born in Springfield, Ohio, and attended Ohio State University before she dropped out and moved to New York. Whilst living in Greenwich village, she became interested in sculpture and started to travel to Europe to study art in Paris and Berlin. She was best known for her portraits between-the-wars from the 20th century and her series called 'Changing New York', which captured the architecture and the social landscape of the city during the Great Depression in 1936.

I think these photos are successful for my first set of photos in this project. They create a sense of mystery and confusion. I could’ve taken the photos from different angles to create more confusion by obstructing the image and refining it by editing it more.

I found the task difficult because I wasn't sure what to take photographs of. The task allowed me to look at objects from different angles and closer up which allowed my image taking to be more interesting. I think my images turned out well. I edited them so majority of them were in black and white because I think it looks better and more interesting.

I think the photos came out ok, I did the task successfully and for some of the pictures you are unable to tell what the photograph is of.

I don’t think the photos are good and they could be refined to make them seem more mysterious and I couldn't find objects to take photos of so I ended up repeating objects.
