ACC Assigned Topics: Due March 3, 2026

Assigned Topic #1 : Old/New

Presenting the passage of time through old and new, such as vintage vs modern.  Image should indicate the contrast between old and new elements within the same frame or through the merging of multiple exposures or composite images.  Use your imagination to create a compelling story on the passage of time between your chosen subject which should have both the old and new item in the image.

  • Contrast – Highlight the differences between old and new, such as architecture, technology or fashion. For example, a modern skyscraper beside a historic building.
  • Storytelling – Convey a narrative that connects the old and the new, showing how they coexist or interact.
  • Creativity – Use unique perspectives, angles, or compositions to emphasize the theme.
  • Symbolism – Incorporate objects or scenes that symbolize the passage of time or evolution.

Altered reality is not allowed.

Assigned Topic #2 : Multiple Exposure

Involves capturing images using the multiple exposure technique, where two or more individual images are superimposed to create a single photograph.  This can be done in-camera or through post-processing software.  Unique perspectives and imaginative interpretations will be rewarded.   Altered Reality is allowed.

  • Creativity – Showcase artistic interpretation by blending exposures to tell a story, express emotions, or create surreal visual effects.
  • Composition – Carefully plan the arrangement of layered elements to ensure the image remains visually balanced and impactful.
  • Technical Execution – Demonstrate mastery of the technique – align exposures seamlessly and control transparency.
  • Theme Alignment – Ensure the combined exposures work harmoniously to align with the main theme or intent.
  • Imagination – Explore unconventional ideas – mix different genres, e.g., portraits with landscapes, times of day or symbolic elements.

Post-Processing – Employ editing tools to enhance blending and refining the image.
