By Design Photography

Week 7 | February 12-19 High Key High Key photography refers to images in which the shadows are bright to non-existent. High key photos are very bright and often have an airy or ethereal feeling. They may also be just bright and stark. Using either artificial or natural light, make a high key photograph.... #clondon52 #clondon52w7

Week 6 | February 5-12 Artificial Light Now I know not everyone has studio lights or even an on camera flash. But guess what, artificial light is any light that isn’t natural. That could be your desk lamp, the neons of your local bodega, street lights, anything that isn’t that fiery ball of gas in the sky. For this challenge I’d like you to focus on artificial light you can have some control over, however.... (Not a lot of control over this light but I could turn it off so I'm using it!) #clondon52 #clondon52w6

Week 5 | January 29-February 5 OPEN FOR INTERPRETATION: Mundane ~ mundane /mndn/... (adjective) 1. lacking interest or excitement; dull. "seeking a way out of his mundane, humdrum existence" 2. of this earthly world rather than a heavenly or spiritual one. "the boundaries of the mundane world" I enjoy and appreciate the therapeutic value of some of the more mundane things in our lives. #clondon52 #clondon52w5

Week 4 | January 22-29 A Day in the Life This is one of my all-time favorite exercises, but the first time I’m including it in the prompts. It’s a bit involved, so stay with me. Choose one day this week where you will document the entire day - from the moment you wake up, to the moment you go to sleep. Aim to take at least one photo every hour. At the end, cull it down to no more than 10 photos which tell the story of your day. Then, choose just one hero photo which sums it u...p in its entirety. ~ I LOVE the idea of this but I was not happy with how it turned out. Will do this again sometime. #clondon52 #clondon52w4

Week 3 | January 15-22 One Room Similar to last week, we’re going to explore a space which is maybe overlooked on any given day. Choose a room in your home and try and show its personality in one photo. This doesn’t need to be a sweeping wide-angle view of the entire space - maybe it’s one corner of the space that sums it up entirely. Want to play this one on hard mode? Choose a less-lived in space, something like the bathroom or kitchen, where maybe there are fewer bits of d...ecoration. #clondon52 #clondon52w3
