PHOTO DIARY:
Shoot three strangers in the style of Yo Imae. http://www.yoimae.com/subtle/index.html Shoot on a dark background. Center your subject in the frame. Shoot from the upper thigh up and make sure there is breathing room for the head in the frame. Make sure that your three strangers stand at the same mark and that you the photographer stand in the same place for every stranger that you shoot. Turn to B&W and bring the files to class on a hard drive.
PORTRAIT CRITIQUE
Three photos (environmental portrait / casual portrait (mid range with less background info) / close up).
Put your favorite under glass (get your frames out of hallway and off the table outside of my office in A17 in the humanities suite). The other two will go in your binder. You can keep your old project in the binder. Organize in the same order as the last set.
From the front
1. Photo Summary (tell why this person made a good subject...challenges and successes)
2. Negatives
3. Contact Sheet
4. Two Final Prints (and one under glass)
We will critique in the same manner as last time with one framed displayed the other across the set. Remember I am looking for the tone in all three photographs to be similar. Should think about getting the same value scheme to match across the prints.
The lab is open all break long if you need it. Good luck and have a safe fall break!
