Photo Essay

In this assignment you will create your own photo essay. To help prepare you for this you should review some other photo essays and prepare a report for the class.

Select a photo essay from the Time.com web site.

Select one essay and be prepared to review it for our class. You will show us the essay and speak to these points:

1. Did the photographer use staged photos, candid photos or both?
2. Color or B&W? Did it make a difference? What factors contributed to the selection of one over the other?
3. Find examples of good framing and composition and point them out. How close does the subject feel in the photo?
4. Find examples of good use of color and light. Do you see backlighting? Were the photos taken early or late in the day?
5. How is narration and text used to support the essay?
6. Do the photos in the essay stand alone or do they need to be seen as a part of the whole?
7. Describe your reaction to the essay. Do all photo essays illicit a reaction in the viewer?

This will be a public presentation for the rest of the class. You will recieve two grades for this lesson, one for presenting and one for participating (being an active listener.)

Photo Shop Project

UN-EDITED

EDITED

This is a project that we did using Adobe Photo Shop. We were to save a picture of an eye from Google, and open it on Photo Shop. We had to change the colour of the Iris only, and then post it on our Blog.

Photography

Exposure- ISO deals with sensitivity of film
- Aperture controls how open the camera lens is
- Shutter Speed is how fast you open/close the lens
- CCD (Charge Couple Device) is the processor
- Shutter speed goes by the seconds (so for blurred motion lower shudder speed, for clear/crisp pictures us higher shutter speed)

Illustrator Symbol

The icon for the Illustrator program on Macintosh computers. I created it using the Illustrator.

Our first introduction to the Flash glint effect. I made the initials of our school (SJC) change colour.
