by Sally on March 6, 2017 with No Comments

Take a photograph which plays with the notion of juxtaposition – “the fact of two things being seen or placed close together with contrasting effect”

Need more help?

Having problems visualising a juxtaposition? Try to mix and match two materials that generally don’t go together, like leaves and paper clips or contrast colour and texture. Photograph and share the result.
