Photography Final

Famous Photographer Group PowerPoint

For this assignment you will be asked to study a famous photographer’s work, and then create a PowerPoint on their style and techniques for photography. You will be working with a classmate on this project, no more than two students per group.  This assignment is worth 50 points.  Select a photographer from the website:  http://www.masters-of-photography.com/

Some Recommendations:
Ansel Adams                Minor White
Irving Penn                  Imogen Cunningham
William Eggleston        Edward Weston
Jerry Uelsman               Stephen Shore
Dorthea Lang               William Henry Fox Talbot
Cindy Sherman             Harry Callahan
Lewis Hine

Spend some time looking through their work; find one that interests you and your partner.  You must approve your photographer with Mrs. Shaum before starting your Power Point, two groups cannot use the same photographer so if someone has already selected the one you want, you will have to choose a different photographer.

 Please format your PowerPoint in the following manner: 

Slide 1: Photographers name, your names and date 

Slide 2 & 3: Introduce your photographer, giving information on the person’s background. Include information like: when they were born and died, what type of equipment they used, where they went to school or learned about photo, other artists who may have inspired them, awards or special honors. 

Slides 4-7: Choose four photographs from the photographer you picked that are creative and interesting. Make sure you describe the photos and how the photographer worked with the subject(s) to make a creative and interesting photo—be very specific! Also include any type of composition, lighting and camera techniques that you see in this photographer’s work.  Include titles & years for the examples, you will need to look up the title of the work and write it down when you are researching. 

Slide 8: Use this paragraph to describe how you are inspired by the photographer’s work and how you will use the ideas you have learned to influence your own work for future photo assignments. You will be taking your own photos using what you learned from your photographer so make sure it makes sense.

Slide 9-12: Each person in your group will take 4 photos using your photographer as inspiration. Put 2 images on each slide labeled with your name and title your photograph.

Save your work to your student drive. Make sure you save as you go so your work is not lost. When you are done with the PowerPoint, check it off with Mrs. Shaum.  You will be presenting this to the class.

*Use complete sentences

*Spell Check

*Make sure to include titles with the artwork

You should have 12 slides total when finished

Assignment Due:

B day: Tuesday Dec. 4th

A day: Wednesday Dec. 5th

[If you want the extra credit it MUST be in on the day it's due]

 

Assignment

Take photos in 2 different locations. You will have 5-7 different exposures of the same image in each location giving you 10-14 photos total. Make sure to use a tripod or set your camera down on something that will not move. If you move while taking your different exposures your HDR will not work! [for help on taking photos scroll down and read for further instructions]

 

Extra Credit

This is your only opportunity for extra credit this semester!!! If you need it take advantage! Your extra credit is taking extra HDR images and turning them in as a final product. You can take up to 3 extra HDR image giving you a total of 5 differnt locations and a total of 25-35 images.

 

HDR Student Examples

[you can do this good or better!]

 

 

What is HDR?

High Dynamic Range photography is a set of techniques that allows a greater dynamic range of exposures (the range of values between light and dark areas) than normal digital imaging techniques.  The intention of HDR is to accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to shadows.

How do I start?

1.   Use a tripod, perfectly stable, with a cable release if possible.  Make sure nothing is moving in the scene and that you do not move.  Merging your exposures only works with different exposure of an identical scene. They will not line up accurately if you or something in the scene moves.

2.   Figure out what your aperture and shutter would be for an average exposure.  To do this, put your camera in P mode, point at the scene and press half way down on your shutter release.  Notice in your viewfinder it will recommend an aperture and shutter to be used for an accurate exposure. 

3.   Set your camera on Manual, Select ISO (usually 100 ISO on tripod), and set your aperture and shutter speed according to the cameras recommendation from step #2.  Take your first shot.

4.   From here you will take several more exposures of the scene by only changing your shutter speeds.  Do not change your aperture (f-stops) because doing so will change your depth-of-field.  Changing the shutter speed will give you the largest range in shadow and highlight detail.

*If you do not have a Manual setting on your camera, use your Exposure Override function on your camera.  Ex: (0, +1, +2, -1, -2)
