Photography project. See Fall semester 2018 above (Updated August 10)
Seniors will create a 16-page grey-scale booklet to complete this project. Choose one project from the three options below.
A) A Routine Subject Comes Alive. Choose one subject only. Photograph it using a variety of angles, compositions, and lighting to create a portfolio of the subject. No two photographs can be alike.
Examples of subjects: shoes, flags, windows, color, lines, doors, chairs, items representing a letter of the alphabet, or anything else of your choosing. Mr. Webber must approve your topic before you begin photography.
Expectations: Each of your 15 photos must be unique from all others you publish. Consider composition, lighting, location, background, and perspective of each. Give each photo a title, and a brief description using complete sentences.
B) People. Take portraits of 15 different people. Each must be unique from all others you publish. Consider composition, lighting, location, background, and perspective of each photo. One suggestion is to take informal environmental portraits, that is, photographing each person in a setting that tells viewers something about the person. Each photo's title must be the name of the person, and must have a brief description using complete sentences.
C) My Personal Project. You create your own project of 15 photos. Each must be unique from all others you publish. Consider composition, lighting, location, background, and perspective of each photo. Each photo must have a title and a brief description using complete sentences.
NOTE: Your 16-page booklet must be created using InDesign software. Pages 2 through 15 must contain one photo per page, as well as the text material. Students must create a cover design for their booklets to include their name and title. Edited photos must at a minimum be cropped, have levels adjusted, and be resized with dpi changed to 200 and converted to grey scale before being placed on the pages.
