Shooting Assignment #3
Focus on Composition
(due posted to your Tumblr before class on 02/17)
Use the Rule of Thirds and other compositional devices that we learned in class to fulfill this assignment. Use the information we talked about in class and what you have learned from reading over pages 147-151 in your book, and the back of this handout
Image 1 - Put the main subject off to one side or one corner of the frame. Can you balance the image so that it does not feel lopsided?
Image 2 - Put the horizon line at the very top or very bottom of a photograph
Image 3 - Have “nothing” in the center of the frame. Keep the views interest directed towards the edges
Image 4 - Make a portrait of someone without his or her head in the picture. Try to have the image express something of the subject’s personality.
Image 5 - Photograph something in its entirety; a person, a shop-front, an animal, an overstuffed chair – whatever gets your attention. Move in a little closer. How will you use the frame to cut into the object? Do you crop the object evenly all around? More on one side than the other? Move in even closer. Closer. Photojournalist Robert Capa said “If your pictures aren’t good enough, you aren’t close enough”.
