E N D
Photography Week Some examples from the class of 07-08
Day 1- Foliage and Portraits • Today we have two objectives. Take picture of foliage (plants) and Portraits of other people.
Foliage • Plants don’t have to be boring! • Try some interesting angles and watch your backgrounds. • Remember your rules of composition
Portraits • Time for some people pictures. • You will have to position your subjects, watch where their limbs are in contrast to the background. • Watch for mergers
Day 2- Inanimate Objects, Group Photos • Today's objectives are taking pictures of inanimate objects (things that are not alive) and group photos.
Inanimate Objects • Capturing inanimate objects can result in boring lifeless pictures if your not careful. • The trick to a good photo in this area will be capturing the object in a unique way.
Group Photos • Capture a group photo of two or more people. • The more natural it looks, the better the result.
Day Three • Today’s objective is to capture these items in a different way: Toys and Office Materials
Toys • We all loved them as kids, can you bring back those memories with a well constructed photo?
Office Materials • How can boring can it get? About as boring as a stapler. • Can you somehow make these materials exciting, professional or extraordinary?
Day Four • Today’s objectives are: Hands and Books • Right off the bat they don’t sound very exciting, but what we are hopefully discovering is that anything can make a great picture.
Hands • Hands tell a lot about what a person does and who they are. • Hands can speak whole languages so don’t just lay them there. • Be expressive!
Books • Books have been the primary source of information for hundreds of years. • Since books hold so much they are held in great regard by many. • Use the books to express some ideas.
