Thank you all for the great submissions for the Panorama Assignment! I really appreciated the diversity—from a beautiful abstract sunset to the backsides of statues! :D Now that we've played with aspect ratios and capturing wide spaces over the last two weeks, it's time to do the exact opposite. We are getting closer. Much closer. The Assignment: Close-Up Photography The Art of Seeing isn't always about capturing the grand landscape or the entire street scene. Often, it's about finding the extraordinary in the mundane by simply changing our perspective and looking closely at the details. Your task is to create a captivating close-up image. (Important Note: You do NOT need an expensive macro lens for this! You can use your phone, a standard 50mm, or whatever you have.) The goal is to fill the frame with details, textures, or shapes that we usually overlook. Abstract reality, show us the unseen, and be intentional with your light and composition. The Goal: To train your eye to find the beauty in small details and to understand how abstracting reality can completely change the emotion of an image. 🚨 BIG NEWS FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT: - 🏆 Win a 1-on-1 Call: As promised, we are stepping up the game.

The first two shots are part of this book that I created of my friend Robyn who went through the transition from male to female and I was gifted with the opportunity to photograph that journey that she took from the very beginning when she was a man to her surgery to the finish process I made a book out of it called she/her The last image is of my friend Darlene. Darlene was an anorexic who I found out just recently has died from her disease it was a rare opportunity to meet her and get to understand her
