Emphasis, Story Telling & Depth of Field
Photograph a simple subject with a variety of backgrounds, angles, lighting and distances while concentrating on depth of field and composition techniques to tell a visual story about the item.
1st find an item that really interests you, but it must be a tired object that has been tossed for someone else to re-purpose, or something that your family are near to put one the corner with a "Free" sign. You will be taking your thrift item and your camera everywhere, so make sure you are really committed to it. You are to experiment with composition emphasis techniques and different depth of field techniques- short, medium, long and to create a story about your item. Find, construct, and design frames using the composition techniques placing your thrift item in different scenarios to tell your object’s story visually.
What to do……………………………………………………
Find an object, or go thrift shopping. Go out on your own, take wild and crazy photos, on B/W film or digital. Make contact sheets, 5- working prints for your photodiary, and one 8 x 10 of your best image. We will have a critique on the due date…
