Three Photos - Shadow

Per-Assignment: We were given an assignment to take as many as 50 photographs in the style of Paul Strand. Which means to take photos of object, people and the shadow behind the object. I chose 3 best photographs out of 50. 

Pre-Assignment: Get Close

Getting really close to an objects means focusing on only one thing and have everything blurred out. For this assignment we use the flash, so the picture will be clearer. I really like taking close up pictures, because you are only focusing one thing while the background is blurred. it gives the attention of an object.
