Unseen Observer: Outside and Inside Familiar Spaces

Due May 13th

6 Different environments. At least two of these must use your shadow and reflection with the mask. Edit and post to your blog.  Attach link in Teams.

Photograph your mask in at least 6 different environments. You can also interact with the mask.  The environments you chose must tell us something about the mask: outside looking in, a personal space, a public space, inside a book , in a mirror,  other people posing with you and the mask or wearing the mask in different environments.

Think about the personal narrative you can convey in these photos. How can you tell a story with your mask, locations, and people?
