Some of your images may overlap two or more categories but try to focus your efforts on one primary subject, concept, or idea as best you can.


For a given category, ask yourself how you can approach the topic more specifically. For example, if your category is “people,” to whom in particular, are you referring?  


Will you choose a single person, a group of people, or some sort of other category involving people? 


Examples (Not limited to):

• Portraits of roommate first thing in the morning

• People watching TV 

• People wearing COVID mask

• People yelling

• People sleeping

Composition


Please remember some of the compositional strategies:

• Go beyond central placement (a few examples are okay)

• Rule of thirds, unusual placements within the frame

• Leading lines

• Use of edges and corners

• Awareness of background distractions

• Abstraction or unusual cropping
