Still-life Flower(s) in Black and White
This month's assignment is to capture a still life flower(s) in black & white. Above are 4 examples by one of my favorite photographers, Imogen Cunningham. Imogen is an early 20th century American photographer who's still-life images are classic examples of still life flower images. Imogen studied under Edward Curtis, the famous Native American photographer, is best known for her in depth study of magnolia flowers and later in life for her street photography. She worked with Ansel Adams and Edward Weston, as well as many other famous photographers of the early 20th century.
Each contestant can submit up to 3 images. They must be in black and white but can also be selectively colored, if you so desire. All entries must be in by June 28th.
Assignments are designed to help you grow your photography skills and creativity, and have fun doing so. Assignments are to make all of us photographers think outside the box also.
The Rules
Any photo will be accepted for the assignment. Edited/straight out of the camera, it does not matter. You are left with complete freedom to do whatever genre of photography you wish to do, and your own interpretation of the assignment subject.
