Commercial Photography II

Spooky Lightbox: DUE Friday October 13th

This is an open lightbox assignment, but it must have a "Spooky" theme!

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde Shoot: DUE Friday October 13th

Yes another self portrait assignment! I want you to take 2 different photos of yourself (yes, YOU have to take the photo!) and I want you to merge them together like the examples below. Each photo should represent 2 aspects of your personality, the photos should be shot in RAW and edited in Lightroom before merging them together. You may do a full body shot or a head shot, that is up to you! You will turn in 3 images, your 2 self portraits and the merged photo.


Not possible for you youngins to do this yet but a cool idea for the future if you take a self portrait of yourself now, then later on in life see how you have changed!


This is not 2 photos merged together but one photo, but it gives you the same effect if you choose to go this route.


Southwest Room Shoot: DUE Friday October 20th

Cara, Magnus, Lauryn and Joe--MACRO
Sarah, Oliver, Ryan and Sway--PATTERN
Mia, Rachel and Ben--SWEETS
Lynsey, Bella and Abbie--ACTION

Things to think about:
  • hands in pictures must look presentable/match the color scheme
  • backgrounds should be specific and go with your theme
  • steer clear of yellow/orange since that is the primary color of the room
  • be specific with lighting
  • spraying certain foods with water helps them pop
  • wash food to look presentable
  • think advertisements!
  • talk about your food with your group so you photograph different things!
