Letter to the Past
Dear Jordan,
You will be taking a Photography class in your junior year of high school. It is a cool class but it can be hard to keep up with all of the assignments. In order to be successful in the class you must manage your time efficiently in order to insure that you get every assignment completed on time. Make sure to use your class time correctly and spend that time working on each of your projects to make them look the best that they can. When it comes to thinking of ideas for projects, make sure to always think of more than one idea. Mr. Klein always says that "You're first idea is never you're best one".
In regards to taking photos, make sure that you always take multiple shots from different angles and different lighting. This will insure that you get the best possible final photo to turn in to Mr. Klein. It is important that you take at least 24 photos while shooting in order to create an index print (required for each photography project). One of my best pieces of photography work is the paper midterm assignment. We were all given white pieces of paper, and we had to create something and take photos of our creation. This was a successful project for me because I believe that I accurately completed the assignment and used creativity to complete it in a very short time period (only one class period). In order to create my vision I had to cut out and create multiple 3-D shapes (heart, sphere, triangle and square). I then set these up in front of a black background and took multiple photos. Then, in Photoshop I colored each of the shapes a different pastel color. This pop of color added an extra element to the photo, making it more interesting to viewers.
If you use these tips you will be successful in your Photography class! Good luck!!
