Digital Imaging Portfolio

General Planning

Purpose:

What is the purpose of your photo? What are you trying to accomplish?

When people see my image I want them to see what I was i was seeing in my head when I took the image.

Target Audience:

Whom is the picture intended for? How are you trying to make them feel, think, imagine?

Intended for people of all ages to see and enjoy this image. I am trying to make them think about the world we live in.

Subject/Props:

What is your primary subject? Are there any supporting subjects? Would any props assist to emphasize your subject(s)?

My subject is either going to be a person, nature or both.

Background:

What background would support your purpose but not be too overpowering?

With my background being nature it will not overpower the subject.

Setting the Mood

Exposure:

Do you need average exposure (not too bright, not too dark)? Perhaps a very dark underexposed picture, or maybe overexposed?

I want a bit darker exposure, but not to dark that it doesnt let my subject shine.

Focus (Sharpness):

Should your picture be sharp throughout or should only some parts be sharp for emphasis?

I think my image should be pretty sharp throughout but not to sharp that you cat tell what my subject is.

Scope (Fill the Frame):

What should you include in your picture? What should you leave out? How close should you zoom in order to leave out unimportant components but still capture the important ones?

My image should inclue my subject and the background. I should leave out any other people who arent the subject, zoom in enough to focus on the subject but not to much that its to focused.

Pose/Arrange:

How should you pose or arrange your subjects for best effect?

I think a natural pose will be good for my subject

Graphic File Format:

What is the best file format for this picture? Should it be bitmap or vector, high or low resolution, compressed or uncompressed?

Medium resolution, JPEG
