OBSERVE

Mind map:

In my eyes, observation photography is a way of showing off what we find visually appealing. When you observe something, you aren’t just looking at it, you’re admiring it, critiquing it, decoding it, judging it, understanding it, all unconsciously. I like the idea of exploring a range of places, things, and people that we observe each day but take for granted, the small fine details most don’t notice with interesting shapes, colours and textures. Taking in the sounds, sights, and smells, hoping to translate them all into the photo is what makes it differ from an average photo.

“When we stare at people, we’re actually just observing them, trying to better understand them, because there is something we find interesting in that individual!” – link

SEEK

Mind map:

For the theme ‘seek’, I think the best area to focus on would be seeking out new areas whether they are physical, personal, or theoretical. There are so many broad areas this could include as once you start looking, there’s more to seek out.
