| Altered Reality in Red: |
Choose a subject that you wish to explore creatively within the parameters of this subject. Use your imagination to create a pictorial fantasy, but your fantasy must be based on a photographic image. Photography means drawing with light, so the role of light in creating the final image must play a strong role. The dominant color must be red.
While the reality of your photographic image must be altered, the reality of the original subject must be apparent. "Altered reality" which means “changed” is not the same as "abstract" – which means “obscure or unclear.”
Be creative with your use of distorting lenses, filter, wire mesh in front of your lens, solarization during printing, digital alteration, or any other creative tool you can think of to create your fantasy. Remember, the dominant color of your final image must be red.
Keep in mind, composition, contrast, and the angle and color of the light all play a part in this competition. |
