Fourth Assignment

Fourth Shooting Assignment:

Juxtaposition:

Create a series of images that juxtapose two ore more images next to each other.

All images should be shot by you. All juxtaposing can be created in Photoshop.
A series of 5 images each with two or more shots juxtaposed together are due by the end of class March 3rd.

Try to find imagery that combines in an interesting way when placed next to each other,objects that might not seem to go together until you see a shape comparison. Using totally incongruous objects sometimes works well, if only for the humor or wow factor.

Begin shooting pictures today.

A theme that runs through all five juxtaposed images could make subject matter easier to find.

Third Shooting Assignment

Shooting Assignment #3

Everyday LIfe:

Choose two members of your family to take a series of pictures of to illustrate some of the important parts of that persons everyday home life. Choose any two people of your family or extended family. You can include yourself as one of the two people .

In addition to trying to capture the essence of everyday life for these two people I would like you to try using the elements of composition from the Kodak Video seen in your Introduction to Photography class:

http://photoinf.com/General/KODAK/guidelines_for_better_photographic_composition_introduction.html
Take 12-15 pictures of each person focusing on as many different aspects of their everyday life as you can.

Try using at least one of the guidelines for better composition in each picture, if not two or more.

PIctures are due on Tuesday February 22nd. You will make a proof sheet of your shots that day and turn in four shots that have been cropped and color corrected.

Use the photos.com photo we found last class... or if you prefer find an appropriate head shot of someone famous from google images (use a large image file)
It can get a bit tricky, just remember what layer you have currently selected...

good luck....

save your work.

Shooting Assignment #3

Lines, Texture and Pattern

Take a series of photographs that explore line, texture and pattern in the world around you.


Your work should show experimentation with composition,
macro camera settings, wide-angle lens settings, use of depth of field to limit and expand focus.

Taking these pictures is an exercise in looking closely at the world around you and finding just
the right distance and angle to take the picture. Move in very close if needed and at the same time,
don’t forget to look at large repeated objects for patterns.

Take a minimum of 24 shots and when you submit these photos I will have you edit a smaller
amount for presentation.

Look at this site for reinforcing the assignment idea.

Have pictures shot by Thursday, February 17th.
