looking down

I enjoyed how the assignment forced me to approach shooting in a unique way, forcing a certain perspective that had to be illustrated. I felt that the perspective of looking down inherent to the assignment gave it an element where looking down was intertwined with the subject. It forced me to look at the world around me in a different way, as m observations for shooting for the project focused on the world below us. I found myself sometimes photographing generally ordinary things, and trying to express other ideas through compositional elements, like framing or use of color. It was satisfying working within a slightly constrained box, so to speak, and appreciating things that probably otherwise wouldn't have caught my interest.
