design tool: photography

Designers use photography to capture landscapes, details, points of interest, people, weather phenomena (like sun, wind, flora and fauna) on a site. Students in our design lab learned about photography on the first day of class.

We talked about how to frame a picture and different points of view. We talked about how a picture is selective and well thought out, not just a random snapshot. Then we sent the students outside to capture what they found interesting.

Here are some of their photos.
