The Completely Series - (P.M.) Topiary Park

The Completely Series - (P.M.) Topiary Park

Sat, Jul 25, 10:30 PM
From Soft Lite Studios
4.8

The Topiary Park is near the downtown Columbus Library and has 54 life-sized topiary figures, boats, and animals that are arranged in a way that invites conversation and photo opportunities. We will be focusing on tactile textures in this shoot. These events on the schedule are to serve three purposes: 1. These will serve as field shoots targeted at The Completely Series homework. Generally, each of these shoots will focus on the homework assigned in the two prior weeks. So locations and topics will be picked to match those expectations. 2. Additionally, these events are to serve as placeholders for TIME OF DAY. They are intended to be modified as needed to capture SUNSET and/or EVENING light. They will likely be modified to time out for the IDEAL light on that day, at that location. EXPECT THEM TO BE MODIFIED as the time of year changes and/or schedule conflicts occur. But THERE WILL BE at least one evening shoot per month. 3. Lastly, they are also to serve as semi-monthly evening shoots for the group as a whole. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE IN THE COMPLETELY SERIES to attend any of these morning field shoots. Locations and specifics will be updated as the event date approaches.
