Advanced Commercial Photography 4th 6 Weeks

Mixed Media Portraits DUE January 19th

You will be producing an 8x10 portrait using old and new photographs. I can help you with printing for this project and if you bring your materials, this can be something you can easily complete in class. I also have a scanner in the classroom you may use.

David Hockney Photo DUE January 26th

David Hockney was a famous painter and photographer, specializing in a cubism style. I want you to take three of your photographs (new or old) and create a Hockney style photo with it. Below is a tutorial on how to create this effect, although there are several other ways you can go about this technique.

Video Project DUE January 30th

Photographers and videographers go hand in hand so this semester we will be adding several video assignments. You will be creating a short film of your choosing so be creative and have fun with it! The video needs to be 3-5 minutes long with audio and we will be showing these in class. You may work alone or in a group of 2-3. You all are already very familiar with composition rules, which apply to video as well, but take a look at these 2 sites to help guide you on video composition and how it can differ from still photography.
