13. Point of View, figuratively…
…means how you feel about your subject.
14. How you feel…
…not just spatially, but
aesthetically, emotionally, even morally.
15. To successfully use figurative point of
view you need to:
1. understand your
subject enough to
have an opinion or
idea about
it, and…
16. …you need to:
2. have the
technical skill and
creativity to
communicate
that opinion or
idea to those
viewing the
photo.
17. Your assignment:

points of view.

and other tips from the last two lessons.
