Challenge # 1: geometric shapes

Hi friends, I hope you're fine?

I remind you that I find these exercises in the book of Anne-Laure Jacquart, photographer.

She suggests in her book to do a challenge a week to finish the exercise book after one year and to give us the time to assimilate the exercise and exploit it to the maximum so that's what I intend to do also more or less according to the weeks, it is not a race, it is an apprenticeship of the different techniques, ideas, inspirations that can use an amateur photographer and in love with the beautiful images.

And the rest of the week I will practice taking pictures according to the exercise according to my inspiration.

There is no point in forcing yourself, you have to want to take pictures otherwise the magic does not work.

I invite you to make your first photo challenge by taking one or more photos with the theme of geometric shapes. Everything is possible according to your inspiration of rounds, squares, triangles, lozenges, ...

This type of photos is reminiscent of cubism.

Cubism is an early twentieth-century artistic movement that is a revolution in painting and sculpture, and also influences architecture, literature and music. Produced mainly in the Paris region, cubist works represent objects analyzed, decomposed and reassembled into an abstract composition, as if the artist multiplied different points of view. They also share a recurrence of geometric shapes and the theme of modernity.

You can find inspiration while walking in a city, indeed, the streets are filled with buildings that offer all kinds of geometric shapes.

But also in everyday life, in the house, the kitchen or even in the office.

The goal is to bring out the geometric shape of the rest of the image.

Here are some of my photos related to this exercise:
