PROJECT #8: CLONES (Photoshop Layers Awareness Exercise)

TODAY IN CLASS: (12 points)
1. Make ONE practice image with 3+ different clones of your partner. 
2. Assemble the different images into one final image.
3. Post to your site.
4. Submit to Canvas after break.

 @HOME FOR NEXT CLASS: (12 points)
1. Make two different sets of photographs (family/friend/yourself).
2. Assemble TWO images with THREE+ different clones each. 
3. Each final image must be a distinctly different setting/place. 
4. Bring photos to next class to begin processing and combining. 

 NOTE: Direct your subject to do something different/odd/thought provoking for each of the separate photographs you make...make it something that is interesting and unexpected for the viewer. 

 EXTRA CREDIT: If your clones give us a narrative of some sort, you will earn FOUR extra credit points. 

 PAST STUDENT WORK:
     
DIRECTIONS: 
1. Placing your camera in ONE spot.
2. Do not move the camera. The background of each individual photo needs to match precisely.
3. Take multiple photographs with yourself in a different spot each time. 
4. Set the timer, or have someone carefully push the shutter button for each of the photos, if you wish. It  will look similar to this symbol in/on your camera:

Once the photos are taken...
4. Stack the images in Photoshop.
5. Erase the parts that are not needed from each layer so that the final compressed image contains you and your clones.

 NOTE: Do not move the camera between photos. Even minimal changes in the camera position will distort perspective and light.

PROJECT #7: Multiple Exposure (as metaphor?)

DIRECTIONS: Combine your photos into various multiple exposures. Use BLEND MODE in the Layers Palette, to blend the various images in your layers. Erase or cut away parts of photos if needed...The beauty is in the unexpected.

Make FIVE(+) multiple exposure images that combine images you have made with intent, and then combined with intention. 

To score above an average grade of C, create at least two of your multiple exposure images to combine photographs as metaphor...that creates a narrative. 

Peruse this article for some very basic ideas: https://expertphotography.com/visual-metaphor/
The article is a bit cliché in places, but can be a good place to begin. 

More than eight images will earn extra credit.
