Due Wednesday 11/6 by end of class:
2-4 fully edited images (min)
Contact sheet (36 images min)

The word float can be defined and interpreted in many different ways. In this assignment you will create imagery that represents the concept of ‘Float’.

There is no right or wrong, you should interpret the concept in your own way. Try to explore subject matter that interests you. Float may be shown in a straightforward/obvious way or it may be more nuanced, just be able to explain the concept behind your images.

For this assignment you will photograph a classmate's 'senior portraits'. You will use natural lighting and modifiers to take portraits that the students would be able to use in graduation announcements that would be sent to family and friends. 

You will be turning in a minimum of 3 retouched (final) photos. The three final shots must include one of each type of portrait framing: closeup/head shot, 3/4 shot & full body.

Before you photograph, get to know your partner, encourage them to bring props or different outfits/change of clothes for their shoot. Plan which day who will bee shooting who and exchange contact info to remind each other & coordinate.

Connecting with your 'client' and making them comfortable in front of the camera is your job, confidence is a BIG part of that. Research poses before your shoot and plan what and where you will photograph your 'senior' so you are more confident and know what you are doing. 

In addition to your final 3 images you will submit your contact sheets, a minimum of 75 images, which breaks down to 25 images per type of portrait framing. This should show that you tried different poses and angles at the same location. This assignment you will also learn to process RAW files (tutorial here) and some basic retouching techniques (healing brush to remove blemished).
