Weekend Photo Focus: Shapes

This weekend’s focus:

Shapes.

What is a photograph if not a picture made up of all different sizes and types of shapes? Even the shape of the photograph itself -rectangular, square, portrait, landscape – affects the subject and how it is perceived by a viewer. Concerning myself, I have a great passion for square photographs and the balance and calm that is usually present in them. This weekend’s focus is on emphasizing the shapes in a photograph:

Each Friday we will post a Weekend Photo Focus (also hash tagged on Twitter as #weekendphotofocus) on a certain subject, something to spark your creativity. An empty weekend for a photographer, is like an empty canvas, we could always use something to do when we have nothing planned right? So with this in mind we created this series, one that will get you out doing what you love. The premise is simple: snap some photos over the weekend dealing with the weekends focus, and if you send them to us, or Tweet them to us, we will post them for others to see. Having a focus will help us as artists & photographers see things that we might not always see, make us take a shot at something we might otherwise have not. In seeing other photogs chase after the same focus, it can only breed even more creativity in our own work.

At the weekends close, we will follow up our weekend focus, with what we found on the Web (including some of the photos sent from you) that falls in line with our focus. We hope you join in the fun and help us spread the creativity.
