I think a good building for this photo shoot would be the capital.

1. Below each photo are suggestions for photographers. List 3 of the ones you think are the most important for photographers to remember when they are out shooting.

 "Photographers should be aware that different light in the same photo can not only come from inside to outside but also be from places like under trees to out in the open." "Many photographers like to take pictures of singular things. One person, one thing or one moment." and "There are some books that have less story than this image. Do that with a photograph and you will have succeeded."

 

2. Pick your favorite painting, get a copy of it and post it on your blog. 

 

3. Then go find a REAL photo that looks like your painting. DO NOT GET AN ACTUAL PHOTO OF THAT PAINTING, find a photo that copies the style of the painting, but is NOT the painting.

There are some books that have less story than this image. Do that with a photograph and you will have succeeded.

If this picture had meaning to the photographer, then yes he/she did follow the suggestions.

5. Which style of painting do you think might influence you?
