Today we had a look at The Flickr Blog and looked at a portrait photographer's collection of work. We discussed mood lighting and the importance of creating a style that is unique. We then watched a video on Jimmy the Dog, and how an individual can become famous over night with one creative idea and a little talent.
NEW ASSIGNMENT : You are to produce a collection of 10 background photos that can be used for overlays or changing out the backgrounds in your photos. Try to shoot a variety of different shots. May include textures, sky, fabric bokeh etc. Make sure you fill the frame. Also try to shoot head on for best results.(10 marks)

Shooting on white backgrounds
The following is a good article on how to shoot products on white backgrounds. This works best for smaller products and for exposure on the web. It is worth the read and helps with how to set up the camera for shooting and how to create inexpensive lighting.

Thurs. Sept 17
We have been working on the poses/portrait assignment over the past few days. Today we will continue with editing and possibly do a bit more shooting when the weather cooperates. We will watch a video on how to get the best photos and I will introduce the new product assignment.
Product assignment: choose a product and take 10 very different shots of your product. Remember, you are trying to sell the product. Then you will choose your best shot and create a magazine ad for it. Feel free to include people in your ad if necessary and try to think outside of the box. Would your ad stop someone leafing through a magazine to check out the product in closer detail?
