The past several sessions have had you exploring various shooting strategies and how they can support the expression of various subjects. We've also been looking at the work of various photographers listed to the right. In class we identified some general strategies, such as:
- Exposure
- Depth of field
- Point of view
- Motion
- Subject matter
- Balance of form and content
- Composition
- Contrast
- Lighting
- Appropriate focal length
The shooting and edit sessions since day one have followed the format below. For Wednesday we will explore depth of field and selective focus.
The project is due on Wednesday, September 8. Edit all of your shooting sessions down to the ten strongest images. Some consideration should be made for how the images work together as a whole. For instance, they may share common subject matter or similar shooting strategies. Two of the images should be from the depth-of-field segment. Any two of the ten images should be printed.
For each:
- Process using best practice workflow skills presented in class. Turn files in.
- All files must be in photoshop format
- Camera RAW images must be in photoshop as "smart object"
- Adjust clipping limits (white and black points)
- Adjust white balance (for RAW)
- Contrast and or brightness adjustment(s) with curve(s)
- Local adjustments (dodge and burn layer and/or RAW graduated filter)
- If necessary, color adjustment (using curve and/or photo filter)
- Make one refined print for two images. Print on decent paper using class printer. Turn prints in.
- A short written description of the work. What strategies were used? What was most successful? What did you learn?
Work will be evaluated on:
- Successful use of creative shooting strategies
- Interesting subject matter
- Successful balance of form and content (how the strategies work to express your subject matter)
- Successful use of processing skills as taught in class
- Quality of prints
- Written
