Photo5 is a unique photography competition run by Canon each year where five everyday items in a simple brown box inspire a stunning variety of imaginative images.
Along with the everyday items (designed to provide inspiration), there separate “Briefs” which specify the criteria for each section of the competition. I’ve outlined below some of the shots I shortlisted for my submissions for each section :
FLOUR // CONTRAST
Using flour, create a high contrast image with visual punch.
EYES // PERSONIFY
Make some cartoon eyes and use these to create an image that breathes life into something inanimate.
JELLY // LIGHT
Create an image where light plays upon – or through – the distinctive qualities of jelly.
SHADOWS // STENCIL
Create an image that incorporates light that’s filtered through the stencil provided.
