theme has been approved.
 No bathroom shots, hand gestures or anything inappropriate for
school.
 Your pictures all must be themed, and ALL MUST INCLUDE YOUR
PROP – EACH PHOTO NEEDS A NEW PROP!
 EACH of you will shoot the following:
 5 Depth of Field: 3 Shallow & 2 Deep
 3 Color: Where color contrast consumes the photo
 2 Texture/Pattern: Where texture or patterns overwhelm
photo
 4 Camera Angle: 2 Low & 2 High
 3 Framing: Where the subject is framed creatively by
another object
 2 Nose Room: Where subject travels toward the center of
the picture facing the center
 2 Subject Positioning: Where subject is off-center
 2 Silhouette: Where subject has light behind it blacking out
details
 3 Leading Lines: Where converging lines lead into the
subject
 2 Dynamic Photo: YOUR CHOICE, correctly using two
identified photo techniques
 EVERY PHOTO MUST BE UNIQUE!!!
 Remember that each technique has MULTIPLE characteristics.
Meet ALL characteristics to achieve at the highest rubric level.
Part II: Uploading and Saving

 You will return to the room with 10 minutes remaining
 You will upload and delete photos from the camera at the end of EACH
CLASS period. Upload them to the google drive.
 ANYTHING LEFT ON THE CAMERAS CAN AND WILL BE DELETED!
 I will not write passes for ANY students still working at departure time
 Photos should be renamed as their composition type (in multiples,
name each 1 and 2 (EX – School Framing 1, Home Framing 2).
 The following day, when your computer is logged in, upload them to
your google drive at the beginning of the period.
 Allow them to upload while you shoot. Part III: Additional Examples –
ONE PHOTO IN EVERY CATEGORY MUST BE TAKEN OUTSIDE
OF CLASS. THESE WILL BE THE HOMEWORK FOR EACH WEEK!
I will check them as they are saved.
Part IV: INDIVIDUAL Portfolio– DUE November 3, 2015

may be physical or electronic.

controversial, reconsider!

theme.
