the fashion assignment

FIRST OFF: Fashion Photography is -h-a-r-d---
So, do not underestimate how difficult it will be to get good shots where you control focus, background, people's expressions and poses, AND THE LOOK OF YOUR CLOTHING ITEMS!!!

These 10 shots are DUE, in your FASHION album, on Monday,October 15th- for 30 points.
Don't forget to LABEL EACH IMAGE and fill out an evaluation sheet once they are posted...

ALSO- read the EDITING REQUIREMENT at the bottom of this post - it is NEW and it will be EXPECTED on this assignment (and all future assignments in this class)

THE FIRST STEP is to choose your item and RESERVE IT with Mr.L... I cannot have 30 people doing 'shoes' as their item...

The 10 shots consist of:

#1- ISOLATED item- just the item, by itself, looking PERFECT with a completely neutral background.

#2- ENVIRONMENT item- just the item, in a set-up environment created for it (or appropriate for it)- think of the cowboy boots on the bail of hay in the barn- you find or create a background that FITS your item.

#3-#4-#5-#6- MODEL shots- you need someone to model your item as you take various shots- each shot is different- try to control the background and CONTROL YOUR MODELs poses and facial expression!!!

#7-#8-#9-#10- THE SCENARIO- your are telling a simple 4 step 'story' where your model is DOING SOMETHING while wearing the item. As simple a story as playing fetch with the dog- or as complex a story as a boyfriend breakup...

EDITING REQUIREMENT- in your FASHION album you need to post all of your ORIGINAL photos with the title : ORIGINAL
and then each shot should be edited in photoshop elements and re-posted with their assignment title: ISOLATED, ENVIRONMENT, MODEL, or SCENARIO

IF this doesn't make sense, ASK ME! I will take off a significant amount of points for posting/labeling images incorrectly!!!!
