Project- Self Portrait without a tripod or self-timer
If you are given a roll a film and are asked to shoot photos of yourself, how would you approach the task?
Would you get a tripod and find the self timer on the camera -sorry not an option!
How else could you shoot photos of yourself?

Ideas- Reflections!
Where do we find reflections? (mirrors, windows, water, etc.)
Can you list ten things that would reflect your image? (try)
What ways could you make these images more interesting? (other people in image, backgrounds, hands, etc.)

1. Check out the website linked below to discover some new ideas?
As you view these, write down at least 10 ideas that really inspire you.

6. Series of Photos with a Common Element
     ( Photo within a photo?)

Project:  A "series" of six prints will be due which have a common theme.
Consider shooting each of these types and develop an idea for each of the different areas below.
Include these in your notebook, along with your choice for your shoot.

SIX similar subjects in very different contexts
SIX different subjects in very similar contexts
SIX photos with a common element (object or concept)
SIX photos that follow a progression (could be a progression in time, or a progression of change)
SIX photos that tell us a story

 

7. "Night Photography"- During class this week, research (using the internet) "night photography". Find as much as you can about this "subject"- times to use, film to use, shutter speeds, painting with light, use of flash at night, how to shoot lightening, etc. 
Complete this first, because during this week you will need to go out and shoot at least 1 roll and possibly 2 rolls of ideas dealing with "night photography". I want you to be developing film on , this gives you Tuesday-Monday nights to shoot.
You will be using one of my Pentax cameras, tripod and cable releases (take care of my equipment)! 
Before you begin, please write down at least 6 ideas (yes you can try different ideas once you start, but you need to have a plan!)
Use your imagination, my expectations are very high for your projects.
