Photo 3 Summer Shooting Assignments!

Cecil

Directions: Shoot the following assignments with 35mm lm and be ready to process the rolls on the rst day of the 2011 / 2012 school year. These images will serve as an important part of your getting started for next year and a catalyst for printing in class! If you are AP you will begin developing a concentration, a focused body of work unied by an underlying idea that has visual coherence. Use these summer assignments and other photos you take to begin thinking about a theme you would like to focus on next year.

In Photo 3 next year you will have work due every 2-3 weeks. Use this summer to plan ahead and begin honing your ideas, AP concentration, and themes to use next year. Shoot at least 5 rolls (lm or digital, of 24 exposures) related to your concentration that you began this year. Come ready with the lm to process or contact sheets of your digital work.

DIGITAL The Top 10 Through shooting the thousands of images this summer with your digital camera select the top 10 image to upload to ickr and place in the Advanced Photo 2011-2012 Group Pool. Search for the group, then ask to join and I will accept you. Only consider images where color plays an important part in the composition!!!

Concentration:

CHOOSE 3 of the following to shoot on B&W lm:

Portraiture & Lighting Select no less than 6 individuals to shoot on this roll. By looking at the contact sheet I should be able to see that you experimented with both articial and natural lighting set-ups. Consider how the composition, light/contrast, proximity, depth of eld, and sense of movement all play a part in the composition!!! 1. Yourself 2. A person that you are very familiar with If you want more lm: 3. A person that you havent seen in a long time Go to Techlab at 170 Maple Lawn Boulevard #170, Fulton, MD (240) 4. A person that you just met...literally!!!! 295-1095 (techlabphoto.com). Ask for 35mm Black & White lm, we use 400 ISO (If you get different ISO make sure to change the ISO 5. A person that is older than 60 setting on your camera or your pics wont work. They also develop 6. A person that is younger than 10
B&W lm (pharmacies and other stores wont). KEEP YOUR FILM IN THE FRIDGE UNTIL YOU USE IT or PROCESS IT NEXT YEAR.

CHOOSE 2 of the following assignments to build your breadth section (consider how you could also make them t your AP concentration:

A person that is younger than 10 Landscape and Architecture Take some time to travel to some old or perhaps new places. Thinking ahead to the AP test you will need to focus on showing your expertise at compositing spaces and searching for those elements of art and principles of design! Consider how the composition, light/contrast, proximity, depth of eld, and sense of movement all play a part in the composition!!! 1. Shoot roughly half the roll in a natural environment (15 images) 2. Shoot roughly half the roll in a man-made environment (15 images) A Specic Time of Day For this roll you will need to focus on taking images that describe a specic atmospheric quality based on a time of day. Consider how the quality of available light effects and plays on objects and people in the compositions!!! 1. Search out scenes that describe a time of day through the specic us of light. 2. Look for spaces where light creates strong contrasts 3. Look for spaces where light creates a limited value range The Senses Shoot one roll that pays homage to the sights, sounds, tastes, touches, and smells of summer! Anything goes with this one....though remember that the difference between a snapshot and a composed photograph is huge!!!! 1. Consider purposeful compositions....ONLY!!!!

If you are taking Photo 2 AP: In addition to assignments next year you will have an additional roll of lm due every 2-3 weeks. Over the summer consider a theme or concentration that you will explore in your photography. Start to narrow in on what interests you and what you would like to explore for your AP concentration. Start shooting for this now!
