Upcoming Assignments

Assignment # 4 ( Portraits): marks 30
Slideshow due: Tues Oct 17 in class





Portraits:Working with a model or models of your choice, you should plan to set up a portrait shoot. You can have 20 shots of one model, or 10 of one and 10 of the other. Plan to shoot a variety of different shots including but not limited to : a couple of head shots, several full body shots, creative shots using the lcd projector/costumes/props etc. Study other portrait photographer's work and learn how to effectively pose your model.

This assignment is worth 30 marks. 20 marks for your portraits posted to Flickr, and 10 marks for your portraits put into a slideshow for viewing. 

Tips:

  • plan your shots/shoot
  • be aware of where the light is ( best times to shoot dawn and dusk)
  • choose a good background
  • use a prop
  • shoot people in their element
  • create a rapport with your model and direct the shoot

So maybe you can research posing and plan your model and location. If you have done your shoot,you can edit. If you are doing your portraits at school, find someone to photograph and get busy. There are lots of places to shoot around the school. ( skate park, woods, garage door near the soccer clubhouse, metal storage containers on the soccer fields. ) See details for this assignment below.
