1. You will need to take photos of yourself or another person at least 4 times in the same scene.

2. Choose an interesting location and explore how you want to compose the shot (rules of composition, camera angles, wide shot, etc.)

3. Take some test shots at the location of the shoot/scene so you can adjust your settings to get a good exposure and to get the effects you want (freezing action needs faster shutter speeds, for example).

4. You will then stack the photos together and use a layer mask to reveal your clones in the different spots of the scene in Adobe Photoshop. 

5. Finally after the scene is completed with the clones, you will flatten the layers and enhance the whole scene with adjustments such as brightness, contrast, saturation, etc. 

When done, you will “Export As…” and save as a JPEG and submit to Google Classroom

For this project you will try to duplicate an existing photograph.  The original image and your image will be printed and compared. The 2 photos, along with a Self Portrait, will be displayed and mounted

Find a photograph that you would like to reproduce.  This can be ANYTHING that you feel you could recreate with the materials, people, tech that you have available.  

You MUST be able to identify the Photographer of the Original

Gather your materials, set up as required and attempt to accurately recreate the original Photo. Use digital manipulation as required.

Your goal is to take 5 photos of 1 item (or arrangement of items). Each photo needs to show different elements of the product. 1 photo might show the entire product, while the other 4 will show different angles or details of the product. Also, change the lights and experiment to see how moving the lights will shape the product differently or highlight different parts of the product.

Preparation & Research

• Know your Subject

• Consider the background, lighting and floor

• Find “professional” product shots of the item - note the Mood & Theme portrayed.  Will yours be similar or different?

Process

1. Create a Mood Board / Google Slides: 7-10 photos that you will use for inspiration

2. A Product / object / group of objects

• Consider your item carefully - Shiny objects / transparent objects might pose unique challenges.

• Lights - Different products, different light set-ups consider how you will light your product.

• Base & Background - Your floor and background should be invisible (ie - total white or total black/colour.  How will you complete this? What materials can you use?
