Photo Techniques (Photo 2)
Scavenger Hunt Warm-up & Emphasis Project
Students do a quick review of camera settings and functions with this project. They also focus on unique composition techniques and discussing what makes a good photograph.
Portraits and Lighting Techniques
Students study and use different lighting techniques for portraits. They may bring in other students as models if necessary. Students may use a "studio" approach, but may also take photos in different settings.

Double Exposure
Narrative / Environmental Portraits
Photography Series Work
The main focus of class is to create a wider range of photography work for students. Part of that is deciding what style or types of photos the student wants to focus on. A series of work has a common thread tying them together. This may be through style, subject matter or many others.
HDR (High Dynamic RAnge) Photography
Normal photos have a limited dynamic range (the amount of light and dark areas shown in the same photo). High Dynamic Range (HDR) photos are a combination of the light and dark areas of multiple photos of the same area. By combining these together in post-processing the photo is able to show more realistic tones. HDR photos may also be used to create a very unrealistic effect to the photo in which the subject seems to "glow".

Lomography Effect
Lomography effects mimic a "film" effect of a lomo camera. This emphasizes flaws in the image that create textures, lighting effects and color shifts in the image. Many of these effects are similar to effects found in popular "filter" packs for editing photos. Students will learn to create these effects from scratch or create Photoshop Actions to easily reproduce the effect.

Broken and Polar Panoramas
Two different types of panoramas are taught. Standard panoramas attempt to show a large expanse of area in one photo with the least amount of distortion in the image. A "broken" panorama chooses to emphasize imperfections by overlapping photos and sometimes mismatching the photo (size, arrangements, etc).

Selective Development
Selective development refers to a darkroom technique used to develop only a portion of the image instead of the entire photo. This may be done in Photoshop by masking a portion of the image using photoshop brushes that look like paint brushes or dripping paint.

Progression and Advanced Light Painting
Students create light paintings by opening their shutter for long periods of time in a dark room. During the time the shutter is open, the camera records any light that passes throught the frame. Lights are used to "paint" in the area of the photograph.
