Mission Nine: Exploring Style
As a photographer, you will naturally develop your own style over time. This Mission is designed to get you started by doing an exercise in style: Just like Laura Grier in this week’s video, try to take a series of five images with very bright colors. Look for motifs that work well together because of their color – but show something very different.
Submit your photos by tagging them Exploring Style. This Mission runs until Sunday, December 4, 2016.
Here are some photos to spark your ideas:
