Capture an overhead photograph that shows scale.

ASSIGNMENT

Your assignment is to capture an overhead photograph that shows scale. You probably don’t have access to a helicopter, so be creative to get overhead: climb a ladder or staircase, shoot from a window, or snap a tabletop. Think about “scale” the same way I do on aerial shoots: composing an image so that object sizes and shadows create visual interest. Shooting from above will push you to master a new perspective, and being intentional in how you set up a shot will help you refine your artistic point of view.

DELIVERABLE

Upload 1 overhead photograph that shows scale. One way to capture scale is by contrasting objects of different sizes.
