Concept Shooting True Love or Broken Hearts? http://emorfes.com/2012/01/13/awesome-conceptual-photography-ii/ Concept Photography  shares a variety of qualities with advertising photography, stock photography, and photojournalism: 1) It involves intensely analyzing a “message” that you want to unmistakably convey.  2) It involves careful consideration of your audience and how the message will touch them most powerfully.  3) It is centered on emotions, and the telling of a story in its message. Concept shooting  involves a great deal of “mental” preparation, in addition to the usual scene analysis (composition, lighting, etc.):  Message:   Message  is the core of concept photography. Imagine an overriding concept like "Love". Within that broad concept, there are many messages. One message could be "true love".

Letter to the Past Through the discovery of an inter-dimensional wormhole located in a small chicken coop on the outskirts of Wichita, mankind has learned that it is possible to move solid objects between dimensions—either into the future or into the past. (The experiments on living creatures did not fare as well #insideoutpig, #wearyourheartonyoursleeve) This amazing discovery has opened up abundant opportunities—particularly in education—not the least of which is that you can now communicate with your past or future self (!) In order to leverage this capacity, all students are being asked to write a letter to their former selves, providing instructive ideas about how to succeed in their future classes.   (The future is now) Please take a few minutes and write a letter to your past self about what it takes to be successful in the Creative Photography class. This may include tips on taking photos, use of class time & coming up with ideas for your pr

Conceptual Photography-The Story http://thoughtfulphotography.typepad.com/blog/2009/04/how-to-find-story-ideas.html Photo-journalism generally uses photographs to support a written story.  In this project, the photograph should actually tell the story.  Look at the image above and imagine what the circumstances were that resulted in the photograph.  You can imagine what transpired immediately before the photo was taken and you can probably imagine what will happen in the moments that follow.  That is photographic story-telling. Here is another example: http://enticingthelight.com/2012/02/11/katies-story-some-very-moving-photography/ Once again, it is not too difficult to surmise what happened in the moments before the photo was taken. It is notable, that not only does the photo tell a story, but also that it is a strong, compelling image. The goal is to create an interesting image that depicts an idea. The "idea" in this case is a story that p

What Art? 1 Please view the following 2 images and respond to the questions below by posting to your Blog: As accurately as possible, describe what you see.   Look closely  and record every visible detail.  Everything from composition to background to facial expressions is open for description.  Part I 1) Describe the mood of the image(s)  What is the expression on the faces of the models?  What is their posture? 2) Think about technique.  How do you imagine these images were created? Oil paint? Photoshop? 3) Ask yourself what role color plays in the images(?)  Does it accentuate the mood? 4) Finally, what do you think the artist intended to convey with these images?  What response was he/she attempting to evoke?  Do you think the effort was successful?
