Objective: To capture images that play with the concept of partial visibility, invoking feelings of curiosity, mystery, or anticipation. Seek out subjects that are not fully revealed, encouraging viewers to wonder about the unseen.

Assignment Details:

Exploration: Explore the campus or your homespace, looking for opportunities where subjects—be they animate or inanimate—are partially hidden or obscured. This could be through natural elements, architecture, or objects.

Photography: Photograph your subjects from perspectives that only reveal a portion of them, such as through a gap, behind something, or at an angle where the subject is only partially visible. Aim for at least five different subjects to showcase variety in your approach to the theme of peeking.

Editing and Composition: Post-process your images if needed to enhance the sense of mystery or focus on the peeking element. Consider how light, shadow, and color can be used to draw attention to the part of the subject that is visible.

Submission: Submit your series of images to our site by the due date. Label your files as peeking.yourname.2024. Be ready to discuss your collection, sharing insights into your creative process, and any challenges you encountered.

Tools Needed: A camera or smartphone with a camera. Photo editing software, if desired.

Additional Notes:

As always, prioritize safety—for yourself and others—while photographing. Ensure privacy is respected; obtain clear consent if your images include identifiable individuals. Be mindful of your surroundings to avoid disruption or damage.

Final Notes: This assignment encourages you to explore the storytelling potential of partial visibility in photography. It’s an opportunity to play with the viewer’s curiosity and to see the unseen through your lens. Let your creativity guide you as you uncover the hidden stories around you!
