Photography topic
I go to photography club meetings once a month and we always have a topic for photos that we share during the critique portion. March theme is "Point of View." That's it. Nothing more specific than that. That could be anything, anything at all.
How would you interpret this "assignment?" Just bouncing ideas here. I am sure I will come up with something one way or another. Just wondering what you all would have to say about this topic.

If it were me, I would do a series of shots of the same subject, with the only difference being my state of mind when each shot was taken. Do one while happy, then another one while upset, or angry, and another one while indifferent or while I really wasn't in the mood. See how your perspective changes with each shot. Something like that is probably how I would go about it.

I think I would try and take two shots of something that told a different story depending on your point of view. Like a close-up of someone crying, paired with a wide shot where you can see they're cutting onions... that's the only example I can think of the moment and its a bit cheesy.

I think you can do point of view study
 . I guess pov can be both technical (position of camera relative to the subject) and as others suggested, a different meaning/context.

What's your favourite subject for shooting? Perhaps you can do one, or a series. on your favourite subject - which is your fav due to your point of view.

It can be anything where you're taking the shot of some kind of action from the perspective of the person who's doing it; then viewers of the photograph are seeing the action performed as if they themselves are doing it.
Imagine a shot that shows a set of hands making a cup of coffee but from the perspective that you yourself were making that cup of coffee - that's it...POV. A shot I've seen done several times is the classic laying out on the beach type of pose and the camera looks outwards toward the users feet, presenting the viewer the POV as if they themselves were on that beach looking outwards. Hope that helps!

Lee Freidlander did a series of photos once from his dog's point of view. He followed his dog for a week or so on his hands and knees, shooting things as his dog might see them. It was good enough to win him a spread in LIFE magazine.
