Shoot a series of photos that shows different parts of the same subject, but not in a way that makes the subject easy to identify.

Select a subject in your home or neighborhood. The subject should be a common object, like a chair or a lamp, or something often seen nearby — a fence, a tree, or a piece of architecture.
Take a boring photo of your subject in its natural environment. Nothing fancy, just a snapshot for reference. For example, if your subject is a flower, then photograph it where it’s growing. If your subject is a fork, photograph it in the kitchen.
Using techniques from this class, shoot at least 20 unique photos of the subject with your iPhone or Android phone. Try different lights or different times of day. Keep your camera lens away from your usual eye level.
Take one more photo of your entire subject, but this time with lighting and from a point of view to make the subject more interesting than the photo in step two. In other words, before and after.
Upload your favorite five creative photos, and ask people to comment on what they think the object is. The more creative or unusual your photos are, the fewer correct guesses people will give.
