Another Idea for Collection

 

Black and White Photo Collection Example by Mrs. Dollberg

Photos #3, The Black and White Collection

The Black and White Collection

For your 3rd photo assignment you are going to do a photo collection.  This means that all of your pictures will be related in some way.  You may decide on the content of your collection and compose the pictures however you’d like (following the rules of composition).  You need to keep in mind though, that the final product will be black and white images in a collection of 4.

Here’s the step I suggest you follow:

1.    Decide what you want your collection to be about.  Think about things that are interesting to photograph that are somehow related.  For example: Different Pieces of Architecture, Natural elements (leaves, trees, stones), Kitchen Items, Geometric Shapes, Sports Equipment and athletes etc.  The possibilities are endless!

2.    Think about how you can take the picture in an interesting way and also make the blacks and whites of the photo stand out.

3.    Take the pictures!  Take more than you need so you have a lot to work with as you create your collection.

4.   Use Photoshop and convert all your images to black and white.  After you desaturate the images, make sure you use brightness and contrast to make the images dynamic black and whites.

Your color images will be due in class on November 4th.. You will need to turn in 12 images (3 sets of 4).

You will then have time in class to turn the images into Black and White.

Your finalized Black and White Collection will be due on

November 8th.

Last Week October 14-18

Last week we completed our second photo assignment.  We used pictures from that assignment and completed the T.C. Mosaic assignment and T.C. Hallway poster project.  If you have not completed any of these assignments, please look in your Google Drive for the documents that I shared with you with full details.  
Today, we will be working in Photoshop.

Below is your second photo assignment.  Today, I want you to spend time looking at other photographers work and come up with photos ideas that you would like to use as model images for your own work.

The Real Secret to Taking Spectacular Photos


Photo Assignment 2--TWO IMAGES OF THE FOLLOWING:


1. Photo Mosaic….Your best picture to be displayed in our class mosaic. Each student will take a photo to be placed in a 5x5 space. Make it colorful, make it interesting, make it your work of art.


2. The Faces of T.C.---I want something that shows off who we are at T.C.--Think 24x36 enlargement for our hallways. Take pictures at lunch, at the game, in the hallways, in class (with permission), out for pizza, all you need is great composition, great exposure and some Tri County Vikings. You will need to be a photo director for these images. Each of your images will need to be full frame shots without cropping!

3.  Natural Light--Take a picture that shows the beauty of natural light.  This can be a beautiful sunset, light shining through flower petals, light illuminating beautiful blue eyes, you decide the content, but light should be a dominant element. 
Don't use your flash unless it is for fill flash.  


**Don’t take Pictures of pictures, Posters or Artwork***
You will need to take pictures that represent the basic elements of photographic composition.


• Get Close and FILL THE FRAME!!!


Your Digital Pictures are due at the beginning of the class on October 15 to get credit for having your images turned in on time.
