The Lab. We will take photos together like this in class. In a group you will each use the same camera to take a photo at the station you are assigned. Each photo needs to be different. One person in the group will upload the photos to their blog. Title each image with the photographers name. Title your blog post as “Still Life Object.”
- Still Life Photos – Due Thursday before class is over
You will choose objects that interest you. Don’t feel you have to assemble still lifes like others you’ve seen. Instead, look around for objects you feel comfortable with, or objects you dislike. Consider objects you barely even notice. How do they look with other objects? What happens when a bright light hits them? Look for the unexpected, and give it meaning through your photographs. You should bring items into class that you want to photograph. Make sure that you pay attention to the backgrounds when you are photographing. You will upload you best 6 photos to your blog by Thursday with titles, 3×2 gallery, title post “Still Life Photos.”
