Photograph a friend against a backdrop in your neighborhood.

Project Assignment

Your assignment is to photograph a friend against an unusual or interesting backdrop in your neighborhood. I’ve picked this challenge because you'll have the most fun with friends, and because it will help train your eye to take advantage of what’s around you.

Deliverable

Your final deliverable is 3 photos.

Note: If you also share your photos on Instagram, be sure to include the class hashtags: #brentonclarkeXskillshare and #skillshare.

Contest

I’ll select a winner from the top 10 most-liked projects and also look through as many projects as possible. The winner will be featured on my Instagram feed, and will be featured on Skillshare's social channels, blog, and monthly email. Plus, the winner of the class will win a one-year premium membership to Skillshare to take even more photo classes! Contest Deadline: 11:59 PM EST 12/2/14
