“5 Different leaves”

5/28/25

I learned a lot from doing this assignment. First off, I learned about positive and negative space, which is one of the most important aspects of photography. When outside, I wasn't looking for specific leaves, I kind of just grabbed ones I thought would look cool and that were different from each other. I had to leave class before doing the actual process, but I understand that the leaves were placed on a sheet of paper and pressed down by a glass plate. Then everything was left out in the sun and once the leaves were removed, there was a stencil of them left behind.
