Photo Feature Hunting

Post date: Jan 12, 2016 7:19:41 PM

Week 1 Faces • Look for good faces but you don’t have to only get faces. The context of the background or their connection to other people in the story make the photo more story telling.

Week 2 Lighting • Using light can create drama in a picture. Look for areas of shadow and light to make the photo more interesting. Shooting at different times of the day can produce a soft or harsh light in the photo as well.

Week 3 Sports • Experimenting with shooting different sports to find your strengths and weaknesses as well as learning to use shutter speed and aperture correctly.

Week 4 Angle • Climb up on top of desks, ladders, lay totally flat on the floor. Work to get different strong angles of good moments.

Week 5 Rule of Thirds • A photo with the subject in the center doesn't work most of the time. Use the rule of thirds to maintain good composition.

Week 6 Repetition • Look for repeating elements but the image can be even better if there’s repeating elements and someone breaks the pattern.

Week 7 Framing • Use objects, generally in the foreground, to frame the story in the background.

Week 8 Color • Look for dominant color palettes that play a role in the photo but make sure there’s good composition and story-telling in the photo.

Rules

• Nothing posed (unless it’s the assignment).

• Four different images for full credit

•No out of focus or blurry images

•Can’t be from your assignment

•Due the Monday after the week.

•Put final photos (please edit and rename) in a folder with weekly assignment name in Photos to Tate folder under your name (those should be set up.)

•Must be from within two weeks of the assignment. That means you can’t pull images from something you shot four months back and put in.

•Must be school-related.

•These don’t count for as much as spread or newspaper assignments but still are a good portion of your grade.
