Developing your own visual reference photos is a great way to ensure that you are creating unique compositions that are all of your own making. In this sub unit you will be looking at how to set up lighting in a studio and setting up objects to photograph [still life]. These photographs will then be used to explore different media and compositions.

TIPS
- clean your camera lens... it gets finger prints on it all the time!
- turn on the grid on your phone to ensure you are photographing straight!
- try different angles [turn camera upside down!]
- take notice of the reflected colour when using coloured backgrounds..
POST PROCESS.
POST PROCESS.
Try and complete as much editing on your phone as you can before the next step. Do not over edit your images, but some will need you to adjust lighting/contrast or to use the built in filters like "vivid" or "dramatic" or "mono". You can duplicate photos if you want a colour and B&W version [or you can do this in slides later on..].. do you know how to copy and paste edits to multiple photos?
Create a folder in your google drive and upload all of your photos to this drive. if you shared a camera please ensure you share the folder with your partner so they have access to the images.
Using Google Slides and insert 1/page of your best example minimum for each checklist item from each photoshoot.
