You need at least two separate photo shoots this week, each one with between 15-30 images. You can work with the same lesson or try something different. Work with varying the angle, lighting, composition, and/or typography. Be sure to reference the feedback that you receive tomorrow to make improvements.
Hi Mrs. Fisher! Another question... how many photoshoots do you aim for us to do?
Hi Helen, You can absolutely change your plans! That’s an important part of this process. I am excited to see the results!!
Hi Ms. Fisher! I went a totally different way for the photoshoot that I did today (I used balloons), is that okay, to post a picture of that for Wednesday (or do we have to do what we planned to do)?
Hi Sabrina, I apologize for the confusion. The updated version of this assignment did not post properly. Please review the above requirements. You will be editing one image for a midway critique by Wednesday and the rest of your final images by Friday.
