Photographic Series Create a series of photographs by composing a single subject or theme from several completely different points of view.

Vary the composition each frame by adjusting both the camera angle and the subject distance.

Adjust the aperture to control depth of field. Remember: The wider the aperture, the smaller the # (ex: 2. 8 is wider than 5. 6) and the less background is in focus.

Attempt shooting from dramatic viewpoints and look for strong framing elements like your previous assignments.

Start shooting from farther away and slowly move closer to the subject to provide a wider angle and a more intimate view.
