PDL Module B : Photography

Photography (New Media) was my favourite module back in NIE and it was one of only two practical modules where i scored an A... hee


once again it IS my favourite module this learning cycle cos it allowed me to learn and complete my assignments remotely, anywhere in the world of my choice and i chose JAPAN... 😂😂😂 


Assignment 1 > Popular Photography Trend

i decided on "Colour Hunting"... been seeing tons of it on my social media feeds... really fun especially when 'played' as a family... 


Alvin would ask "What's the colour of the day?" before we headed out each morning and everyone would be actively pointing the colour out randomly throughout the day... 😍😍😍


this challenge really did direct me to see things which i would not pay much attention to usually... some colours are easier than others... then it was pick & choose my 九宫格, colour edit, contrast edit, template choosing and 编排 - ing!!!  










Assignment 2 > Local Streetscape



















Assignment 3 > Nature & Landscape 









 Assignment 4 > People
