There are essentially three classes of position [to place a single point]: in the middle, a little off-centre, and close to the edge. (Photography 1: The Art of Photography , p.72)
To be brutally honest this exercise is proving a bit of a challenge to me. We are asked to take two or three photographs in which a single point is placed in different parts of the frame. (A ‘point’ should be small in relationship to the frame; if it’s too large it becomes a shape.)
If I am understanding the brief correctly we should use the position of the point to try and understand how the viewers eye will be drawn into the image.
The images that we are asked to take in the first part should be seen as test images.
