PROJECT #12: PORTRAITS OF TRUTH

DIRECTIONS. 
1. Photograph your friends (must be a student at TuHS)
2. High contrast images with large expanses of white or black.
3. Compose in the RULE OF THIRDS.
4. Position your subject so that their face is fully visible and illuminated.
5. Make EIGHT+ different (even slightly) images of three people (total of 24 photographs)


Once you have made the photos, ask your subject the following three questions:
1. What is a secret to happiness?
2. What is your greatest dream?
3. What are you most worried about?

Record the answers (written or audio).
File, email, etc. their EXACT answers to yourself for later reference and use.

THEN...

Ask that friend (the student) to answer the following:

"What would make TuHS better?"
-or-
"What is uniquely TuHS?"

We will print them, and then write, on the photograph, one of the responses from your subject:

 

PROJECT #11C: STILL LIFE, Part 3 - Reinvented By You

DIRECTIONS
Using your lightbox set up - OR A SET UP OF ANOTHER KIND - reinvent the "still life" in your own way. Of course, vary the placement of your lights to create distinctly different highlight/shadow/etc.

RATIONALE
To think outside the box (yes, that pun again), and do something - within the still life genre - that is entirely your own creation and idea.

IDEAS
If you are bereft of idea(s), try incorporate the three of the following - in some way:
1. Something(s) frozen in ice.
2. Food coloring & water.
3. Something refracted through water/glass.
4. Cut/bent/folded paper (to create abstract light & shadow).
5. Multiple glasses/bowls.
6. Flowers.
7. Other...?

If you are bereft of ideas, do a search for "unusual photographic still life"/"modern photographic still life"/"clever photographic still life"/et al.
