Scanograms

Planning

Scanograms


I will use a scanner to create the scanograms. There is multiple things you can can such as Someones face, pieces of food or objects. A creative edge to scanograms can be created by using something such as your fingers, and dragging them down the scanner to create a screeched out look.
The equipment i will need is:

• A scanner
• Objects (packet of cigarettes, Chewing gum etc)
• 1 or 2 people (to be able to scan faces, body parts)

The shoot will take place in the classroom as there is a scanner perfect for the shoot in there.

Emulsion Transfers

To make emulsion transfers i will shoot a photograph that i think would look good on an emulsion transfer, then i will glue it down with the photo facing the paper and glue it down. The next step is to dry it with a hair dryer, then using a wet paper towel scrub the layer off of the photograph to bring through the image onto the paper. 

To make an emulsion transfer i will need:

• Paper (preferably A4,A3)
• Wet Paper towels or wet cloth
• Hair dryer
• Pva Glue and Brush 

Projection Photography

To make the images i will use a Projector in the studio because a dark room is needed. Next i will use a client/model to stand in front of the projector. Doing this i will then need to project an image onto the person to create a projection. Depending on the 

Still Life Photography

Still Life Photography

1. Still life photography is usually photographing small groups of objects. It can be done in the studio or outside. However in the studio is has a better lighting effect for small objects which are mainly used for inside purposes anyway. 

   

   
   Still Life Photography gives the photographer more room for error as the object isn't moving so it doesn't require a fast shutter speed to capture the photo, whereas a wildlife photo would. It is commonly done in the studio with pieces of fruit because as you can see from the pomegranite photo, it highlights all the different pieces of detail in the fruit and gives it a unique effect.  

   
   

   

   
   

   
   

Magazine cover - Ideas

Idea 1

For my First Idea i would like to recreate a snooker magazine cover, this is done in the studio as light boxes and a flash is needed.

Exposures

Exposure

Under Exposure

Underexposure is an image where to little light is let into the lens, therefore making it a dark picture. Exposure will determine how light or how dark a photo is. Underexposure creates a dark edge to the photo, in essence, making detail less visible.
for an underexposed photo, an ISO of around 800-1000 is needed. Underexposed photos often look nice over a sunset or sunrise. However in a room such as a studio, the detail may not be shown as good.

 Over Exposure

An Overexposed Photo is where too much light is let into the lens which causes brightness i certain areas of the photo. Overexposure creates a light edge i the photo ad the detail is often covered up by the brightness

Before

This is before the photo is photoshopped. As you can see, 

the spots and imperfections of her skin are making this 

womans skin look a mess. However this is fixable using

photoshop. The spots are cleared using a touchup icon 

which clears the spot into a skin tone so that it is no longer 

visible.

After

As you can see, using the Retouch tool has really paid off
here as all of the spots on her face have disappeared and
most of her imperfections have vanished.

Mick Caddy

Mick Caddy

Mick Caddy is a Landscape and Wildlife Photographer that captures shots that not many people would manage to get. He spends a lot of time taking shots of kingfishers at the river.
For this Photo, Mick uses a high shutter speed of something between 1/1000 and 1/2000 which freezes the pictures and that highlights the splashes in the water as the kingfisher reaches out of the water.

Kodak Photographers

Early Kodak Photographers

By far the most significant event in the history of amateur photography was the introduction of the Kodak #1 camera in 1888.

1895: A woman holds an early Kodak camera which was sold 
with the film already loaded. The entire camera was returned to 
the factory for film processing

The work of Degas

The Work of Degas

Edgar Degas was a French artist, he was famous for his work in painting. He is known with painting dancers. His portraits are seen to be among the best in the history of art.

Early in his career, his dream was to be a history painter, which he was prepared by his training and study of art. In his early 30s he changed course, and by bringing the original methods of a history painter, he became a painter of modern life.

The Blue Dancers

This Painting is unique because it uses Triangles in the portrait, it has two of the dancers heads cut of the painting which gives it a cropped effect which makes it unique. This painting was most likely created after Photography was invented because it uses the rule of cropping and triangles.

Dance Class 1871

This is another one of Degas' paintings known as Dance Class 1871. Again it is a painting of dancers and it is held in a dance class. This painting is effective because it shows reflections in the mirror of the dancers which creates a unique side to the painting.

Styles of Photography

 Styles of photography

Fashion

Fashion photography is one of the most dreamed-about  careers, and it’s easy to see why. It can be glamorous and high profile – making it a competitive business to get into. Without the know how to properly shoot fashion photos and the knowledge of how to market yourself, it can be nearly impossible to get established.

Landscape

Landscape photography is one of the most popular genres, and there are photographers who dedicate huge parts of their life to getting the perfect shot of a scene. These committed individuals are happy to carry large camera kits and tripods to ensure they get the very best image quality that they can.

Shutter speed

Shutter Speed

Shutter Speed is one of the three pillars of photography, the other two being ISO and Aperture. Shutter speed is responsible for creating dramatic effects by either freezing action or blurring motion.

Shutter speed, also known as “exposure time”, stands for the length of time a camera shutter is open to expose light into the camera sensor. If the shutter speed is fast, it can help to freeze action completely, as seen in the above photo of the dolphin. If the shutter speed is slow, it can create an effect called “motion blur”, where moving objects appear blurred along the direction of the motion. This effect is used quite a bit in advertisements of cars and motorbikes, where a sense of speed and motion is communicated to the viewer by intentionally blurring the moving wheels.

How shutter speed is measured

Shutter speeds are typically measured in fractions of a second, when they are under a second. For example 1/4 means a quarter of a second, while 1/250 means one two-hundred-and-fiftieth of a second or four milliseconds. Most modern DSLRs can handle shutter speeds of up to 1/4000th of a second, while some can handle much higher speeds of 1/8000th of a second and faster. The longest shutter speed on most DSLRs is typically 30 seconds (without using external remote triggers).
