Unit Two : The Gear
Put on your photojournalist hat this week - and get out of the house. The past couple of assignments have been more technical, with the intention of just understanding how your camera works. This week, you have more of an opportunity to flex those creativity muscles.
Photograph and assemble a series.
If your camera allows for it, shoot this week in Raw+JPEG - we will be revisiting this week’s raw files in our post processing unit, so store them somewhere easily accessible. If you are unable to shoot raw and JPEG simultaneously, just shoot JPEG this week.
For this assignment, we want you to document an event or just everyday life. Focus on your exposure and composition, and getting it “right” in camera - because you will not be editing your submissions.
Your submission will be a series of 3-5 images which work together to tell the story of what you’re photographing. You will submit the straight out of camera JPEG images. Reminder: no editing! If your camera allows you to set camera profiles or recipes, feel free to use those, but we want to see no post processing.
Along with your images, you will include a short write-up about your thought process during photographing. Think about whether or not you found SOOC to be limiting. For the sake of the mentors, include what you would specifically like feedback on, and any challenges you faced.
