Hi Tom,
First welcome to our community.
Second thanks for submitting your first images!
Often people sign up for the course and they don’t even submit their first image. 😮
The goal of this assignment is to get you to see the world as a photographer and think about the world like a photographer.
Any good photographer will tell you there are at least 10 interesting images just waited to be created in your immediate vicinity. It’s just a matter of learning the art and technique of making them good.
For now, you can learn by just getting creative and having fun with photography.
You’ve certainly found a mundane item here in your tissue box.
What’s more important is that you’ve managed to take a tissue box and you’ve turned it into a piece of abstract art but simply changing the composition of the image.
That’s great.
Take a look at this and this to see how other people have done a similar thing.
The idea here is to keep that in mind going forward.
Always be thinking, “how can I make this image more interesting” “how can I change this to improve the image”
You’ll find yourself subconsciously asking yourself these questions automatically as you become a better photographer.
Looking forward to helping you through the course.
Welcome aboard!
