Answer the following questions about the photo in complete sentences, now on view at "New Work 2017" photography show at the Vista Civic Gallery.
1. What's going on in the photo? What makes you say that? 2. What else do you see? 3. What do you think the artist was trying to portray? For this project, you will be researching one of the photographers on the list below. You are to then create a Google Presentation (under your school email) about them to share with your classmates with 8 photographs of theirs and twelve photos of yours (three will be recreating their photo). Share the presentation with me at [email protected] as lastname-firstname-artistlastname-period#
The presention must include the following information: Slide 1. Title Page- artist name and your name Slide 2. Artist name, date and place of birth and/or death, as well as a photograph of them. Slide 3. What they are known for- commercial, fine art, documentary, war photography? Explain what that career is (what does it mean to be a commercial photographer/ fine art photographer/ documentary?) Slide 4. Interesting details about them, such as, where they went to school, what they are best known for, characteristics of their work…what makes them unique? What made them famous? What makes them different then the other photographers out there? Slides 5- 9. Five images of their work, with the title and date. Try and get as high resolution images as possible, and be sure it is definitely by that artist and not “in the style of”. Make sure you include their most well known photograph!! Include within your speech any information you can find about the photographs, specifically what it is of, where were they made, was this part of a photo series, who was the client, where was it published- you will be discussing it within your presentation. Make sure these are high resolution images. Slides 10- 22 Your twelve photographs emulating the style of the photographer. You must include three where you have recreated the specific composition of three of their photographs- make sure they are different then the previous five that you showed already (so that you show eight total of your photographer's work), and the other nine in their style. Think about using appropriate props/ clothing. Discuss in your presentation how you were emulating their photographic style. Slide 23. Your personal opinion of the artist- what made you choose that person? What is it that you like about their style? What did you learn about your own photography versus their photography? (must be in complete sentences and in paragraph form) Slide 24. Sources listed- no wikipedia! Must have three or more sources with the website's proper name and url. If the photographer has their own personal website, it must be included within your sources! Slide design should emulate the style of the photographer- for example, a presentation on Sandy Skoglund might be playful and colorful. Extra kudos if you find anything on video about them that you can share a short clip (~ 2 minutes) of within your presentation. Be sure that the slide design background doesn't distract from the photographs that you are presenting- only use a colored background (not a photograph) when presenting a photograph by yourself or your photographer. Your twelve edited photographs should go in the 11-14-17 Photographer Research folder within the shared folder, saved as lastname-firstname-photographerlastname1, 2, 3, 4, 5.jpg Please note: if your photograph isn't going onto Google Slides, it may be because of two reasons: A. It's saved as a photoshop file- so merge the layers and save as a jpeg. B. It's larger then 10 MB- so open up in Photoshop, go to image size, and change the resolution to 200 and decrease the size to get it less then 10 MB (not much further though- say, 9 mb). Save it as lastname-firstname-artistname-smaller.jpg so that you can differentiate that it's smaller and still keep the original file. Graded based on: 4 points: presentation- not speaking directly from slides, have notes, passionate about photographer 8 points: photographs- photographs emulate the style of the photographer, focused, good craftsmanship 4 points: time on task, citizenship, work to best of ability, all slides complete and on time, images in shared folder 4 points: research accurate, high resolution of the images of the photographer, presentation in the style of the photographer The photographers to choose from are: 1.

Choose your top six images that have shallow DOF (f/1.8) and medium DOF (f/8) and save them as lastname-firstname-food1-shallowDOF.jpg and lastname-firstname-food1-mediumDOF.jpg up to six. Make sure there is a variety and you are not using the same images as your partner! You will be submitting twelve images total. Save in the 10-27-2017 Food Photography folder. 1. Create a padlet named "Food" 2. Title your padlet with your first and last name and call it "Food Photography" 3. Put your top six images (twelve total images- one at shallow, the other medium dof) in your padlet- make sure you have one at f/1.8 and one at f/8 for comparison. Make sure there's a variety of angles and poses- not just six of mainly the same picture. Title each photo "Cupcake Side Angle Medium Depth of Field" (or whatever the food item is). 4. Put the technical information of each photograph in the description (aperture, shutter speed and ISO), as well as two sentences saying why you specifically like that photograph. 5. Answer the following questions as a separate post on your padlet at least two paragraphs long in complete sentences: 1. What did you use to light up your photographs? 2. What do you see as a difference between the f/1.8 and the f/8 photographs? Which one do you prefer for food photography, and why? 3. What are some key points that you learned about food photography, based on your notes and taking pictures? (in one paragraph or more) 4. If you were to do this again, what would you do differently?

You will choose your best photograph from each compositional technique to change into black and white in Photoshop. You will then rename put them onto a Padlet, along with the technical information (ISO, aperture and shutter speed) and a sentence or two explaining why the photograph is that compositional technique. Steps: 1. Open up your photograph in Photoshop by going to File >Open. 2. Scroll down using the left sliding bar to your photos. 3. Go to Image > Adjustments > Black and white 4. Choose from the black and white Presets drop down menu which one looks best for each photograph. You can also use the sliders underneath each preset to adjust it to your personal preference. 5. Adjust the brightness and contrast of the image to your preference by going image> adjustments > brightness/contrast and changing the photograph accordingly. Don't make it too dark or too light! 6. Save each photograph as it's compositional rule- ie lastname-firstname-leadingline.jpg by pressing Save as- rename- keep the format as jpeg- and put in the Rbv-Class1- 231Common- Period # >10-19-2017 Compositional Rules folder. Make sure the quality is "12" as compared to the default of "8". 7. After you're done saving each image in the common drive, create a Padlet of your own named "Compositional Rules." 8. Make sure you have the best photograph of each compositional rule- leading line, framing, symmetry, rule of thirds and crop. 9. Each photograph will have the title of what the compositional rule is, with the description having the technical information (ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed) and a sentence or two of why it's that compositional rule. 10. Once you are done, share your padlet with the main class padlet by going to share- make sure it's public- then just highlighting the web address. Go to the main padlet and add yourself by first and last name and add your padlet address.

Take three photos each of the following composition techniques- at eye level, kneeling down, and worm’s eye view. ISO: 400 Aperture: f/16 If you’re in a shady spot and the shutter speed goes down to 1/30th of a second or slower, either find something to put the camera on to stabilize it (like a bench), or bring the aperture to f/11.
BE SURE with all photographs you are taking, that you are looking at all edges of the frame within the viewfinder before taking the shot. Make sure you’re not getting extemporaneous objects within the background (like, a car or garbage can etc) and really take the time to compose your photographs. Make sure there’s a variety of places you are taking your photographs and that the composition is very clear! Milk drop- the story behind Harold "Doc" Edgerton
