Final Portfolio

Applying skills and techniques learned in previous projects, create a cohesive set of photographs that work together as a series, chronologically, connected visually, or united by a common concept or idea.

In developing your concept, consider the following:

·      Do the images work as a series in tonal range, exposure and composition? Do they look like a series?

·      Do the images work together to create a new meaning or understanding that would not be possible with single, separate images?

 

• 5 images 8 x 10 placed in an envelope

HOW GRADED

 

• 5  photos 

• Lighting, technical proficiency example no blurring pictures, thoughtful compositions.

• Single subject (not scattered)

• Show ambition

1. APERTURE  controls amount of light.
2. SHUTTER SPEED controls the amount of time
3. Meter evaluates the brightness/intensity of light
4.Dodging - subtracting light/time from a print in the darkroom.  Makes sections of photo lighter in value. Term used in photoshop to describe making a section lighter value.
5. Burning - adding light/time to a print in the darkroom. Makes sections darker value. Term used Photoshop to describe making a section darker value.
6. ISO/ASA - how sensitive film or digital sensor is to light. Smaller the number less sensitive/bigger more sensitive to light.

7. (Colloidal Process) Requires the photographic material to be coated, sensitized, exposed and developed within the span of about fifteen minutes and creates a negative.
8. (Daguerreotype)Photographic process employing an iodine-sensitized silvered copper plate and mercury vapor to create a single image.
9. (Calotype) an early photographic process in which negatives were made using paper coated with silver iodide.
10. (Silver Gelatin) dry plate process, one step process, allows for some portability since you no longer need a portable darkroom

12. (Albumen Print) Print process that used egg whites and was popular way to make prints at the end of the 19th century.

13. (Platinum Print) Used noble metals and goes out favor because cost and scarcity of materials during World War 1.

Portrait / Framing Exercise

Use your camera to create a portrait of a classmate.  Remember to use some simpleideas to turn the would-be snapshots into photographs:

  RULE OF THIRDS

Divide frame to three parts vertically and horizontally and place subject where the lines crossas opposed to center.

POINT OF VIEW

Change your point of view. Instead of eye level try above, below and behind.

DISTANCE AND PLACEMENT

Come close and move far back. Do not be afraid to get close!

FRAMING

Use these 4 types of framing in at least 16 exposures.  

Submit 1 print of each framing technique. 4 prints total.
