During one of our first photography lessons we got an assignment: to create original letters by taking pictures of landscapes, architecture, objects, or anything else that might resemble a letter. Our main objective was to use photos that we had taken during the class outside the school yard to represent all the letters of the alphabet. Since I was unable to find all the letters at the time (because I was working alone), I have completed the missing letters using snapshots I took in the city and also in my room.
After completing the whole project, I am able now to notice and see things from a different perspective. I have also got better with my Canon camera, and discovered some more of its functions. This has enabled me to improve my techniques, such as using the shadows as an easy way to fill the gaps in a picture, and to become more open minded to experimentation with the environment.
Most of the students in my class made photos of the same objects or same places. Since everybody had little time to complete the task, it seemed to me that it was better to go somewhere else to have a bigger area of choice. Thanks to this, I took several photos that had an strong impact on me at first sight. For example there was part of a fence that looked precisely like the letter "M" (above) .
the inspiration:)
The streets have a lot of different variations of letters. However, it is not
always a easy task to photograph them.
Jesus showed me the right way to the letter "T". Thanks buddy.
Museum of Uprising. I just wanted something unusual in my alphabet.
