Note: You will be taking many photographs to understand how the position of the light creates shadows that effect the way we see an environment or still object. You will then edit down to 6 photos 2 for each part of the assignment.
- Take 2 photographs of an object. Choose Something that has an uneven surface like Edward Weston's Pepper's! Use a small but bright light source to create shadows on the object (i.e. a flash light or lamp without the lamp shade on) Remember how bright the light was that we used in class. Anything like this that you had at home will do! Make sure the object you photograph fills most of the picture. Do not zoom in but instead keep the lens wide and just move closer to the object you're photographing. Remember if the light is not that bright you may need to rest your camera on a flat surface to use as a tri-pod. Note: You may use the B& W setting on your camera. No Sepia
- Take 2 photographs on in the street make sure you keep the lens wider and do not zoom in too much. Show us how shadows change the way we typically
see that particular area. Note: You may use the B& W setting on your camera. No Sepia
- Take 2 portraits of someone you know. For the first one use window light to create softer more subtle shadows on the subject. Maybe photograph them from the side so that the window is to the left or right of where you stand to take the picture. For the second photograph have the person sit near a lamp or other light in the room. Make sure that light is the only one on in the room. Take a few photographs of them by keeping the light in the same position but moving yourself or the subject in front of the light, to the side of the light, below the light (if the lamp is taller) or by placing the lamp in front of them but not blocking the view of the camera.
