Assignment Your assignment is to photograph either a fashion shoot or an advertising shoot. You'll be submitting 3 fashion photos or 3 product photos that could be printed in a magazine. You will mount one 8x10 on board (your best one). You will be mounting on black board or matting the images in a professional manner. This is your last project so show me everything that you’ve learned throughout the year. This project is a culmination of your EXCELLENT photography skills. Be sure to place all 3 photographs in Google Classroom. You may print your image in the classroom but it is your responsibility to have it printed and mounted by the exam day. If you cannot print at school then you may print them at CVS or another photo lab. Tips:

Assignment: For this assignment you will photograph 5 cloning panoramas, and make them creative! Check out the resources and youtube videos on how to create a panorama clone. You only have to have 2 of yourself in the panorama, but it is more fun when you think more about it and try to clone yourself more than once. You will need someone to be your model, or to hold the camera and do the panorama technique while you are the person in the frame. You can use groups as well, but it is a bit easier with one person. Most important is to keep the camera still while the person runs behind the camera, that way you aren't across the frame and don't disappear. It will take several attempts to get 5 really good ones. If you have a successful panorama, take the next chance to try something different—maybe you are interacting with yourself, maybe you are playing with the idea of a reflection (as seen above), maybe you change outfits (very quickly add a hat or take off a layer), or maybe you are representing different sides of your personality or mood. Once you complete your panorama you will take it into photoshop and do a quick edit on it. These should be created in camera though, not in PS. Steps: • This takes a little practice to get it right, but once you have it down it moves quick • Set camera to panorama mode, put model in left side of frame and move until they are out of the frame then stop moving • Once they are out of the frame have them run behind the camera and set up in the next spot • When they are in place start moving the panorama again...tada! • Once you have the 2 person panorama cloning down, try for a third clone in one frame! • Try changing outfits in between (you have to be quick so little things like hats, sunglasses, or adding or taking off a jacket work well)
Assignment: You must photograph 3 different singular objects of interest, so try and make them something that keeps your interest. Each object should have at least 15 frames while photographing (you don't need to use them all) and you will be creating 3 different 6-12 frame grids to pass in like the ones you see above and below. Steps:
Assignment: You must photograph 50 frames with flat lays in mind. You will be responsible for making a 5 different compositions and photographing them from above. Steps:
Assignment: Create 5 sandwiched images. Sandwiched imagery is also sometimes referred to as multiple exposure. The process of double exposure is done in camera, meaning you take two images over the same frame or piece of film, so the process is done in camera. We can explore that option, but we also can take two separate images and overlap them in post production (in Adobe Photoshop) and have more control over the outcome of the image. Both processes are acceptable for this project. You may notice in the images shown that many of them include a portrait image, this is because it is often more interesting if one of the images is more recognizable to the viewer. It also alludes to the idea of the person's thought process or memory. Steps:
Objective: To use separate images and the idea of collage to make an entirely new photograph  Nathan Siket :: class of 2016 For this project you are going to choose one famous painting and recreate it using any interpretation you think would be appropriate. You must approve your choice with me before you begin. You will pass in the recreation along side the original image (as seen in the gallery below). Things to think about:

You will pass in 3 high quality images to google classroom from the shoot and print your most successful still life. You will manipulate lighting. You will also learn about ISO and shooting with a tripod. One final 8x10 print must be mounted on the front of black paper. Steps:

Objective: Use the camera to capture still life, both in studio and outside of the studio. Use lighting to enhance the image and shallow depth of field to focus on specific pieces of a composition. Resources: Still Life pinterest board  A pinhole camera, also known as camera obscura, or "dark chamber", is a simple optical imaging device in the shape of a closed box or chamber. In one of its sides is a small hole which, via the rectilinear (straight lines) propagation of light, creates an image of the outside space on the opposite side of the box. Aristotle wrote about a rudimentary concept of the pinhole camera. Today, photographers continue to use pinhole cameras for artistic purposes. Many pinhole cameras can be bought (even pinhole kits can be purchased), but we are going to make ours from scratch! This week we have been making real working cameras out of a can of oatmeal, a piece of aluminum with a tiny hole poked into it, some paint, and a whole lot of tape. I promise these are real working cameras and they give a very nostalgic, almost dreamlike quality to the images. Here are a few examples of homemade pinhole cameras.    Objectives:

The last few years all of the photo I classes have played with the idea of glitching photographs that they made and we came up with some really awesome results. Glitching is fun and easy. To glitch, all you have to do is the following:
Assignment: You are creating 10 different glitched images. You can use photos you have already taken (but not ones you've passed in) or you can shoot new imagery for the project. You will be passing in your best 3 glitches and printing and mounting your favorite one. Steps:
If you glitch too much you may not be able to see the photo so take your time and check back on what you have done every once in a while by changing the extension back to jpg. If you like the glitch the way it is but want to play more, duplicate that photo and try making more changes again. You will have the option of doing Photoshop editing once you've finalized your glitch.  Richard Avedon What is a portrait? What makes an image of someone a portrait instead just a snapshot? Intention. For portraiture you need to make an interesting photograph of someone with intent. A portrait grabs our attention. People are fascinated by other people and since the advent of photography, images of people have saturated our lives. You cannot get through a day without seeing a portrait of someone, whether it be in advertisements, on walls, or on a Facebook profile. Almost all professional photographers have worked with people taking portraits. Artists to consider: Man Ray, Richard Avedon, Alfred Eisenstadt, Annie Liebowitz, Helmut Newton Assignment: Your assignment is to photograph multiple portraits using 50 frames. You must photograph: yourself (self-portrait), and then photograph someone else in three different settings: 1. with artificial lighting (using either side lighting, back lighting, full lighting, bounce lighting, or a combination) 2. a full crop of the face (breaking the frame) 3. using natural light in an interesting setting. Be careful not to take a snapshot (Tell your friend to stand over there and smile brightly, saying “cheese”). Photography as a fine-art does not allow for snapshots or cheesiness. In this project you must focus on the figure. Try to express the personality and expression of your subject through photographs. Put your viewer in familiar situations, so they don’t think about the fact that they are being photographed. You must not forget about the background however, your subject should be complemented by his/her surroundings. You must turn in the following: 4 images uploaded to google classroom (the three of someone else and one self-portrait) *A high quality print includes: Full range of values, pleasing composition utilizing the elements and principles, utilization of contrast (s-curve), manipulation of lighting. In addition, the print should be evenly mounted on black paper with all edges glued down. Steps:

Objective: Learn how to direct models/subjects to capture portraits. Use lighting to enhance and add emotion to imagery. Resource: Pinterest Board for portraits |
