Advanced Photography

Advanced photography is designed for those students who are considering photography as a profession or planning to attend an art college. This course focuses on students’ independent photographic work, based on a series of self-assignments that will help to narrow down a focus for their thesis. Students will be also be responsible for exhibiting their artwork throughout the school and in the school gallery.

Alternative Light Sources

10/25/2019

 
Picture
What makes for an alternative light source? Is a lamp an alternative light source? What about a sunset? For this project you are going to focus on changing the regular natural light source, using reflections, gels, neon lights, and even twinkle lights to make a more interesting image. Portraits work particularly well for this project but is not required. This is a test in making imagery that isn't straightforward. What about using car lights, or a flashlight to light your subject. How about moonlight...can that even be done? Sparklers? Maybe...let's have some fun!
Assignment:
Photograph 10 different alternative light source images. Consider what you are using for your alternative light source and how you can make these images feel more interesting.  Each of the 10 alternative light source should be strong but do not all have to have different light sources, you can experiment quite a bit within one new light source—I'd like to see 3 different kinds of light sources though. You will be passing in all 10 images and printing your top 3 images.

Steps:
• Start small and easy—like adding a colored gel or cellophane to your phone light or your room lamp
• Using candles and sparklers at night may be a bit tougher to get a good exposure, but can be more fun
