Some of you have slowed down or quit and now is the time to ramp up your work. There are no digital color prints turned in from Adv Draw or AP as of today and that needs to be done ASAP. We have matting to do the next two weeks, some of you may be going to the Portfolio Day in Des Moines on November 6, and you need to be ready to present your final portfolio of trimester work by November 10, 11, or 12. Select two of the assignments listed below and complete by Friday, November 5th. GET OUT THERE AND SHOOT! This is the best looking fall I can remember in ten years.
You should be uploading your work on photoshop and altering contrast, color, and texture to enhance the photos you have taken. Get busy! Read over your assignment lists for ideas.
Some new ideas are to shoot any of the following assignments:
1. The essence of Clinton- what is the image that gives you the story of Clinton, Iowa
2. Silhouettes- the blackened out version of any person or object with the background as the story
3. Portraiture- look for interesting faces with unusual angles, (not a snapshot of your friends), does a portrait have to be only of a face?
4. Selective color- scan any photo and take away all the color except for one specific area of emphasis
5. Landscape-set a mood, document a location, create a new world
6. Illustrate a song, book, or poem with your photography
7. Low aperture close up works-do close up work with low aperture to reduce background distractions
8. Commercial work-think about product photography and creative lighting to inspire new works
