Fashion Adjustments

Fashion Editing

1. Please look through your photos and pick you 24 best portrait pictures. 

Eight from each day. Make sure these 24 showcase a variety or angles and camera compositions.

 Simply put, make sure these photos are examples of many of the Portrait Hints you used last week.

2. Start editing the 24 photos in Photoshop using the techniques below.

 You should make your subjects look like supermodels!

To get rid of blemishes or red marks on the face:

Use Clone Stamp

Change Blend Mode to lighten

Sample a portion of the face with "nice"skin

7. How will you use lighting to make your pictures interesting? Be specific.

8. Please search the internet and paste 7-10 examples of pictures you would like to take for this assignment.

Bring your cameras Thursday and Tuesday. If you are in 2nd period photo and shooting away from school you can go directly to your shooting location. 4th period students can check out during TAP on Tuesday.

shoot Forced Perspective shots around the campus. Have fun. Be creative. Work in groups of two or three if necessary.
Turn in a ten picture contact sheet at the end of the period.

Tuesday you will do the same away from school.

Spring Quote Asisgnment

"In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt." -- Margaret Atwood

Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!" ~Robin Williams

In the spring I have counted one hundred and thirty-six different kinds of weather inside of four and twenty hours. ~Mark Twain

I sing of brooks, of blossoms, birds, and bowers: Of April, May, of June, and July flowers. I sing of Maypoles, Hock-carts, wassails, wakes, Of bridegrooms, brides, and of their bridal cakes. 

Robert Herrick

You will shoot two contact sheets based around two quotes about the spring season. In other words, pick your quotes and shoot pictures for those quotes.

I will list a few websites where you can find some quotes about spring, or you can find your own.

• First, pick your two quotes.

You will have an in class shooting day on Thursday.

You will shoot pictures over spring break.

Contact sheets are due at the end of each of these days.

 After break you will have class time to adjust these pictures.

Many spring quotes are directly about the seasons and nature. However, you will find many quotes that also deal with events or sports that take place during spring time like weddings, music festivals, baseball, and golf etc. You also may find quotes that talk about spring cleaning, BBQ's, family gatherings, Easter, and Mother's Day etc.

Don't forget, you can also try to find your own quotations as well.

Greyscale Editing

Good morning. 

 Photo 2 students: please find two partners and teach them all the greyscale adjustments methods from last semester.
 Go step by step and have the other students take notes.
 These include Calculations, Ansel Adams, Basic Channel Mixer, Basic Black and White, and Duotone.
Edit 6 candids in grayscale today. Do not turn these pictures in yet.
Also, please work through the tutorials below.

Tomorrow is a Candid Off Campus picturing taking day.
I will try to arrange it so that students can use Highlander Home time to take pictures.
You must have a C or better to leave campus. Please turn in any missing work right now.

Don't forget your Candid homework assignment is due Thursday.
