2.2 and 2.3 Photography

These are the first practical standards we are aiming to complete. It is your starting point for the body of work that goes on your folio.

By now you should have your 'why', in the form of a brainstorm which is also a part of your blog post.

You should have chosen three photographers as the focus of your Art History which you then also use as your first major influence for your first folio board. 

2.2/2/3 looks roughly like this:

In developing this body of evidence you need to get the following skills sorted:

1) How to work the camera

2) How to upload your shots and make proof sheets out of them. the small photos in a grid are what we call proof sheets. 

3) A good understanding of aperture and shutter speed, the rule of thirds and leading lines

4) How to open photoshop and do some basic editing

These are skills you learn, not ones I expect you to know before we start out. 

There are four shoots here. Four separate times that the student has chosen to go and set up a shoot and record what they see. 

From each shoot, there should be 2 or 3 series of works that you like. A series of works should be 2 - 5 or more shots that work together. 

From each series, there should be one more spectacular shot that you would want to make more of a deal of. 

What do you need to do to create this body of work for yourself? 

Make a plan, show it to me.
