Select an interesting architectural environment and create a portfolio of 6 images that describe the space using 2 long, 2 medium and 2 close up camera-to-subject distance.
You are crating a portfolio of images that the architect could show to his or her prospective clients. Therefore, these 6 images should work together to articulate, in a cohesive voice, the salient aspects of the space. You’ll need an establishment photography (an overall view), a medium-detail photograph (showing some details in context with the overall view), as well as a close up detail shot. You may include photographs of interiors for the latter two.
Frame the space in compositionally strong manner, paying close attention t o the way the edges of your image relate to nearby architectural elements. Except for intentionally induced forced perspective, vertical lines in most architectural photography are held vertical. Make LOTS of exposures in order to get 6 exceptional images.
Manmade vs Nature DUE March 2nd
2 pairs of photographs comparing forms found in nature (tree, cloud, water, grass, rock, etc.) to man-made architectural forms. Image pairs should be matched in composition, angle of view, and overall “feel.” Images of each pair should easily translate as mimicking each other – they should look very similar to each other in the way they are seen and photographed. [total of 4 images]
Here is the inspiration for your assignment:
There are lots of options for things to be placed on the box for this, initially I am thinking:
Cut up fruit arranged to look like stained glass
Dried flowers
Colored gel or tissue paper
Film negatives
Other suggestions welcome, have fun with this!!
Everyone will produce 3 images, edit them in Lightroom and post them on your blog.
Create two pairs of landscape images from two different locations. Each image of the pair must be shot from EXACTLY the same location, but under dramatically different lighting conditions. You may shoot at different times of the day, or even on different days, but you must use a tripod and mark your spot exactly. Cropping should be identical on each image of the pair. The goal is that each image will convey a very different mood depending upon the lighting conditions. Some of the most interesting lighting for landscapes will be experienced at dawn, dusk, or in the vicinity of changing atmospheric conditions, like fog, rain, or even thunderstorms. But be sure to take a friend with you. Be safe [total of at last 4 images]
Landscapes DUE March 23rd
Produce 6 landscape images that emphasize lighting to convey a sense of place and mood. Although you may include people and man-made structures in your photos, do not allow these elements to become the main subjects of your photographs.
Make lots of exposures at each location. Experiment with depth of field, angle of view, focal length, etc. so as to get several variations from which to choose. Your photos should be designed to convey the spatial qualities of the location, so there will be no need to shoot details or close-ups.
It is recommended that you scout each location first, taking notes on the desired lighting and time of the day best for that location. Then, head out early the next day to set up and wait for that light to paint your scene.
Use a tripod. Use a tripod. Use a tripod. [total of 6 images]
