Note I did not include glass. Glass is tricky as it both transmits and reflects light.
Include photos with both:
• Direct light – even if you have to use the light on your phone.
• Indirect light – window, cloudy skies, light reflected from the ceiling.
Take several shots from all around the object – in other words walk in a circle around your subject and take shots every 45 degrees, so you will have 8 shots.
Switch objects and combine objects.
You should have 40 or 50 photos.
Pick you very best 6 shots from both direct and indirect light. You will hand in 12 photos.
• 3 with direct
• 3 with indirect
Edit them in Snapseed, Photoshop Express or your favourite photo editing app.
Hand in both your edited and unedited photos. That will be 12 photos you hand in.
