Your homework is to do an additional photo shoot of hands, but this time in a different way. Be creative with it - there are no right or wrong ways to do this photo shoot, as long as you are being creative and photographing hands effectively. Upload them to your website or bring in the card for next lesson :) Tip: get a hand model (a willing friend or family member!) - you'll get better photos than just photographing your free hand! Upload your photos to your website into a gallery(contact sheet) under the title 'Hands Photoshoot'. If you have a homework photoshoot, add this to a separate contact sheet under the title 'Homework Photoshoot'. Before you unplug your memory stick, select the best 4 photographs and save them to your area in a new folder called 'The human figure - original photos'. This is so that we have some high resolution images for your coursework later in the project. How to edit your photos to present some initial ideas for the project. AO3/AO2 Next, open the best photo on photoshop and edit in the style of Tim Booth. - Desaturate your colours (make it black and white) - Enhance brightness and contrast - Enhance lighting and shadows (eg. curves or filters: render - lighting.) - You might want to blur out or simplify the background (possibly use the clone tool Alt+ click the area you want to copy) - You might want to darken the background and lighten the hands (dodge and burn) Save your edited photo as a JPEG then upload to a single image element under your gallery so your photo is large to show off your skills. You should have just one really effective photo as the outcome for this task. Write a short paragraph to review your photo shoot and edited photos. Put this underneath your large edited photos. Discuss the following: - what did you do during the photo shoot? How did you take your photos? How did you use lighting and backgrounds to enhance your photos? How did you direct your models to get the best possible photos? How did you take inspiration from the work of Tim Booth? - What are the strengths of your edited photos and why? Sentence starters During this photoshoot I... I took my photos by... My photos were inspired by the work of Tim Booth because... The main strengths of my edited photos are... because...
Going for gold: Want to go a step further for higher marks? Combine your Tim Booth edited photo with the style(s) of David Bailey and/or Bill Armstrong. This could include some/all of the following:
- Colour changes - Blurring the image - Layering hands and portrait - Changing opacity of your layers - Combining colour and black and white images Upload this photo with an explanation of the links to the artists you have used, and how you edited. Title above: Independent Hand Experiment
