STILL LIFE ASSIGNMENT

Commercial Photography

The expectation is for you to have all 5 of these great, edited shots, LABELED and
in a folder called STILL LIFE
(along with the 5 unedited original images)
IN YOUR TURN_IN FOLDER
with a purple sheet filled out
BY MAY 16th

This assignment is 50 points- HUGE!
10 points per photo, so make sure you take each one seriously!

1)FOOD and/or BEVERAGE SHOT

2)TECHNOLOGY SHOT

3)SCHOOL SUPPLY SHOT

4)SHOES

5)ANTIQUES & TREASURES from the past


Consider looking at the COMPOSITIONAL TECHNIQUES list to inform your choices!

All of these can be single items OR a collection of items, but be aware of over-cluttering
your image IT SHOULD NOT be confusing to look at.

These need to be professional looking and CLEAN- in focus, CONTROL everything in the background, and make good lighting and editing choices!

REMEMBER- SUPER simple backgrounds OR backgrounds that are appropriate for the ITEMS.

USE photoshop to CLEAN UP your shot (remove distractions, amplify color/light, etc...)
If you use photoshop to add text, keep it minimal- the focus should be the IMAGE not the WORDS.

AND - no people please!!!!

THE PROJECT SPECIFIC QUESTION:
Which of your 5 shots turned out the MOST professional looking?
Why do you think it was so successful?

I think the hardest one to set up is the photo titled "Catch me If I Fall" if it is leaves are actually taken as they fall , if not then the B&W Bananas would be hard to set up. "spring story..." uses lighting and color the best. The photo of urban still life is the most cluttered.
