This week’s theme revolves around scenes that seem rather out of a dream. If you don’t have your camera with you when you daydream at night, why not recreate the dream world while you are awake? ?
Every week I will propose a new challenge, it is a topic that you will have to capture in photo and upload it to the Facebook page of the blog by putting in the description the keyword that I will indicate for each topic. Topics range from portraits to macrophotography, landscapes, black and white photography, or babies. The themes will be offered on Saturday, so you have the whole weekend to work. You’ll have one week to upload your photo (one photo per participant), until Friday of the following week. Friday or Saturday I will update the article with the photo that most captivated me and propose a new theme, and so on?
- This week.
- We will present a scene that mimics the dream world.
- Making it as similar as possible to a dream.
- The good thing is that any theme will be valid: portraits.
- Landscapes.
- Objects.
- Pets?The only requirement is that the photo suggest a dream.
To do this, you can use several techniques
There are more ways to recreate a dream, the important thing is to let your imagination run wild.
Search for inspiration on social networks of photos like Flickr and Pinterest, search for the term: dream, dream, etc. (try translations into English, French, German, etc. and you’ll find many other ideas. )
Joel Robinson is famous for his photographs that mimic dreams, be sure to take a look at his gallery, this may give you ideas.
As usual, to participate in this week’s challenge, take your photo to the Facebook wall of the photographer’s blog: In the photo description, please mention the keyword?Dream challenge, followed by a title of your choice.
For those who are not from Facebook, I have enabled the participation of new social networks.
Thank you for your participation. Do you sound pretty?
Choosing a small selection of photos that represents the work everyone has been doing and uploading this week is a difficult task. Is it easier to agree on a good portrait, a good picture of flowers, than in a picture of dreams and nightmares?What is a good dream photo?Is this a disturbing photo?Is this a photo where the characters come out “elegant”?Is a photo as close as possible to what one could dream of on any night?
I leave the interpretation to everyone, because that’s what it’s all about: it’s such an internal and personal psychic world that I wouldn’t dare rate a photo as absolutely good or dismiss it as mediocre.
In spite of everything, here is the usual weekly selection: in this case I tried several works uploaded in the different social channels of the blog (Facebook, Twitter and Flickr) as well as among the techniques used
I love everyone but I want to highlight Ani’s photo: the definition of the photo is relatively low, and precisely helps to convey that feeling of “dream”, because in a dream you do not see things in full definition (I used typical elements of the dream world, such as stairs, trees and an intriguing burst of light in the blue part of the photo.
The composition is exceptional: the bodies of the subjects direct their gaze towards the staircase, this is reinforced by the gesture of the protagonist who approaches the stairs, forcing you as a spectator to focus your attention on her.
Finally, the title of the photo gives it more strength, character and history.
Congratulations Ani!
