“Details” You will be shooting Fuji Color Daylight Slide Film for this project. Shoot outdoors and focus on details—(close-up portraits, landscapes, or still lifes). Look for colorful subject matter and shoot from a close vantage point. It is very important that you shoot outdoors in good lighting for this project. We will be using these slides for the Polaroid Transfer and Lift Project. If you shoot indoors using anything but natural light, your images will turn out yellow. Bring these rolls to the first class in the fall and I will have them processed for you. |

“Portraits” Shoot one roll of one person in a variety of lighting situations and vantage points using Ilford HP5 400 ASA 36 exp. Some ideas: shoot this person inside, by a window, in their bedroom, at their favorite hang-out, at night, in motion, capture details of their face, and/or hands, use props, and/or in costume, and to capture different aspects of their personality. |

Do your best to complete this list. Whoever completes this list in the most thoughtful way, will receive a box of photo paper. Rolls shot on campus will not be accepted. Use this time to do your best work! Keep your camera with you at all times! Hopefully, you won’t have to shoot during the first term. It all depends on the quality of your summer work. So, please do your best. Be sure to label your rolls for each assignment. If you have questions, please call me on my cell, listed below. I don’t check my email regularly in the summer.
