At a glimpse, there seems to be a number of distractions: an unopened bottle of ink, fresh notebook awaiting and snacks.
Peering through a book shelf from the sofa, the cluttered work space seems uninviting and distant.
Rather than worm’s eye, this should be named the sleeper’s view, thought the drowsy student.
Often the student would fall into a nostalgic state, indulged in reminiscence of her high school days, when going through chemistry notes.
From a bird’s eye view, the table doesn’t look as cluttered as it does.
The student likes to keep necessities near her, masks, snacks, headphones and that notebook she only uses for calligraphy practice.
Still, work must be done, even if it means to go through the agonizing grammar practices.
Wouldn’t life be better off with an ‘Esc’ button where we could just escape from the world, even just a second?
Headphones always come in handy, whether to do an audio drill or for a YouTube break that often lasts an afternoon.
It is always tempting to give up studying and do something fun instead, like trying out some paper samples with the new Kaweco Sport fountain pen.
The dim background hints that the student has only started to work on assignments after nightfall, typical for a deadline fighter.
Burning the midnight oil requires fuel, often in the form of sugary drinks and salty chips.
In the view frame shot, I attempted to capture my small working space through the rectangular steel frame of a bookshelf. From this point of view, the space appears to be enclosed in a steel box or frame, which echoes the confinement of patients contracted with CoV to their homes or camps and seclusion from society of healthy individuals in fear of contracting the disease. This allows viewers to imagine how would life be for them if them had to be isolated, echoing my theme of daydreaming.

Dear certain student, we enjoyed reading your piece. You demonstrate a good grasp of the task and your collection of photographs are simple, candid and thoughtful. Appreciate the consistency of the contents, especially in the zoom, focus and crop shots. For the Focus shot, try sharpening the headphones and un-focusing the other objects in the background to highlight the object in focus.
Skewed angle – Bring the camera a little low to the left and tilt the lens up to get a more dynamic and unexpected/askew view.
View frame – There are multiple frames in this photograph. Consider blocking out some areas to draw attention to the frame/s in question.
Worm’s eye –
Chiaroscuro – One of the most intriguing photographs in this collection.
Bird’s eye – was the discovery that your table is tidier when viewed from the top useful?
Perspective – this one is rather subtle. Presumably the perspective effect is informed by the vanishing lines from the computer and hint of a desk?
Seriality – good attempt to keep the photographs constant. Try using a tripod or something to hold the camera in the same position so that the view contents can stay constant i.e. same size with similar viewing distance.
