Request
The goal of this assignment is to photograph high-quality beautiful, bright, outdoor photos.

Special Instructions:
Think artistically! That’s what makes a photo beautiful. Photos taken at midday may be bright, but are they beautiful? Photos taken at sunrise or sunset may be beautiful, but do they feel bright? It doesn’t matter what the subject is (a shore, a building, a leaf, a landscape), the photo should be the kind that gives you a feeling of bright and beautiful.
Orientation: Any
Photo Specs: High quality. Minimum 3,600px longest edge. Tack sharp, proper exposure, edited tastefully.
