Assignments

Assignment #1: Deja-Vu
Bring at least five photographic images of your family with you. If possible, bring some older images, shot by your parents or grandparents.
We will analyse the images and you will try to re-shoot them in a contemporary setting. Taking an additional image, how would you compose it today with special regard on composition and light?

For now, scan, save for web and upload the image together with the original. Then describe how the image was taken by observing the light situation, the focal length, aperture and position of the camera.

Enter the EXIF-Data with your details to your image before uploading it.

Assignment #2: Colour of Light
Shoot one roll of slide (reversal) film and bring it in week 5. The images should mix different light sources: e.g. sunlight, LED, neon, candle light, light bulbs…

You might want to collect the films and bring them to Analog Film Lab, they develop Tuesday evening and Saturday afternoon.

Assignment #3: Monochrome composition
Choose one colour and shoot at minimum one film with only monochrome images. In addition – shoot an image with an additional colour, contrasting or in harmony.

Assignment #4: Freedom of Choice
Change the appearance and the character of one subject in a series of images. Try different settings, direct, diffuse, various directions of light, change your position, low, high; try different focal lengths, shutter speed, aperture and perspectives. You may also work in black – and-white, if you prefer to. A minimum of 3 final prints which present the subject in a different way are expected.

Assignment #5: Your favourite image
