Assignment 17: Rain, rain, go away...

We love it, we hate it, we can't get enough of it, we get far too much of it.

How will you capture rain?  What does it look like to you?  What does it mean?  Think about what rain looks like.  Is it romantic?  Dreary?  Exciting?  Quiet?  Now capture what you think.

Once you have your capture, create an art board in Photoshop with your image, then, using the text tool, describe in either a word, a sentence, a poem or song, what you've just captured.  Remember, the image is the star of the show, not the words.

Consider your composition and lighting carefully.  Use Lightroom to enhance or assist as needed. Post on your blog by the end of the day.

Due:  March 23, end of class  (To be photographed during class...)

Assignment 16 - The Low of High Fashion Photography

High fashion photography.  That usually seems to conjure images of elite models, clothes a normal person can't afford, and destinations far beyond our wildest dreams.  But what if we could switch this image to be something just the opposite.  What if we took all these components and created high fashion photography using regular people, a location that was "everyday", with clothes that might not be deemed "high" fashion (or even fashion at all?  What would that look like to you?

Your assignment:  Create a series of fashion images that would be suitable for Vogue, Cosmopolitan, or any other fashion magazine.  Think outside the box and, with your knowledge of cameras and settings, compose a unique look that would be a show stopper.

Due:  March 14/15
