August: Four Elements

Here are all the submissions from our members. In ancient Greece it was proposed that everything in the world could ultimately be composed of four elements in different combinations of Earth, Water, Air and Fire. In the late 1700s science proved that this was not the case and our modern understanding of matter and the periodic table was born. However, the idea of the four elements endures to this day and is used often in art and creativity. The brief for this project was to capture one or more of the four elements photographically and portray them creatively. This is a challenge about interpretation, perspective and composition. It can also embrace the technical aspects of exposure, focus and DoF.
