Photography Breadth Assignment #8

Collage Combination

Focus: Balance, Composition, Color, Repetition, Rhythm, Movement, Line, Value

Goal: Use a minimum of two photographs that you have taken and combine them either by hand or digitally. You may also combine other media with photography to create an original image.

Process:

1. To begin, pick what you would like your subject matter to be. It can be a person, place or thing. Anything you want it to be! Do some brainstorming in your sketchbook!

2. Decide how you are going to a manipulate the photographs in a way that will make a strong composition that will lead the viewer's eye throughout the piece

Some ways you can collage the images:

• Weaving two photographs together
• Weaving a color photo and a black and white photo
• Cutting up different parts of the picture and adjusting the placement
• Shooting multiple views of one person, place, or thing, and putting them together in an interesting way
• Combine different mediums on top or alongside the photographs
• Combine magazine images or patterns with an original photograph

Some things to think about when shooting:

• The contrast of the image
• The focal point
• Balancing the composition
