Culminating Activity
Well this is it! Below you will find instructions on a day to day basis. Ensure that you work diligently so that you don't fall behind. If you find that you are moving well through the period and you have extra time - move onto the next day. Don't wait to start the next day - use your time wisely!
Day 1 - Shoot Day
Get in groups of 3. There are 7 tables with 1 light and 1 reflector on each. One student to pose in a seat on one side; one be the photographer on the other side and one manipulate the light.
The first model will pose facing the camera; arms on the table.
The second person will setup the light with a light on one side and the reflector on the other. There should be lots of light on the model.
The third person will be the Photographer.
You will be using the light to cast subtle shadows on the model...Keep the light far enough away so that it stays soft and not too harsh.
Rotate as Photographer. Photographer poses the model doing head shots (shoulder and head). Each person should have at least 5 posed positions where the subject turns the body in the seat and the head mostly faces the camera (you may tilt the head on some but it is important that you have most of the face facing the camera for the “Glamour” exercise.).
Download the shots in a folder called Culminating and a folder within called: Glamour. Rename the best image as: Glamour.jpg ready for editing.
