PH222: Week 3 - Announcements

Hi PH222,

We are currently in Day One of Week Three.  I wanted to double check with everyone that we are clear as to what is due this week.  

RE: WEEK 3 - READINGS

Be sure to read through each section of Week 3's module thoroughly along with the corresponding assigned readings, noted within the "Readings & Assignments" section. 

RE: WEEK 2 – ASG. #1: “Portrait Exercise: Exploring Your Possibilities of Location”

In this exercise you will be shooting one subject in a ¾ length portrait, using a 3-light setup, and showing how versatile you can be on location. This week we discussed the differences between location and studio, and more importantly in regards to this exercise, location scouting. Location scouting is a key ability a photographer must possess to be successful. This ability allows you to identify, problem solve, and adapt to your specifically chosen environment to get the photograph you need.

RE: WEEK 2 – ASG. #2: “An Exploration of Age”

This week you discussed ¾ length portraits and several instances in which they are used as a portraiture technique. In this assignment you will be performing a ¾ length portrait in your studio for a child, a teen, a middle-aged individual, and an elderly individual. You will also be photographing your overall studio set up, the lighting equipment, stands, and the background support system using the light available. Finally, you will create a 150-word statement describing your photographic process.

By (see assignment for actual date), respond to the discussion questions assigned to you by the instructor. Submit your responses to the appropriate Discussion Area.

By (see assignment for actual date), start reviewing and responding to your peers' posts. Respond to at least two of your peers’ posts by asking a question, posting a comment, or adding a point to expand the discussion. Be honest, clear, and concise.

RE: WORKING AHEAD
Although it may be tempting to work ahead, I would encourage all of you to work within the given time frame.  If you must work ahead, please refrain from submitting your work until the given deadline. 

Thank you and please feel free to respond to this post if you have any questions/concerns.
