More Artist as Mentor Tips to consider:
Don't forget you have FOUR shots that are original and YOURS that mimic your photographers style. By now you should have an idea of what that shoot is going to look like....lighting, setting, props/people......Are you on the right track?
For pacing, you should plan to have your shots (copies of artist shots AND your own creations in the style of artist) completed by Friday with the presentation ready to share with me by Monday of next week. REVISIT THE SLIDE REQUIREMENTS NOW SO THEY ARE FRESH IN YOUR HEAD.

- High #'d fstop for a small aperture/deeper depth of field.
- High lit areas (sunlight)
- Switch from AV to Manual if you are more comfortable...just remember to compensate for the smaller aperture with a higher ISO # and possible a longer shutter speed (1/60 or higher when shooting people/animals)
- Check your focus setting! Is it is auto or manual?

Bellwork: Title your entry, "Forced Perspective Tip #1"
Remember to set your aperture to deep depth of field (f16 or higher). However, this makes for a really small aperture which lets in a small amount of light.
You'll need to shoot on a sunny day or well lit interior to make up for that.
Experiment with how low your aperture # can come down and still achieve the focus throughout your design. YOUR ISO (Sensitivity) MAY NEED TO BE TURNED UP.....800 OR SO....

Demonstration of Forced Perspective Shooting
NEW Friday Photo Challenge!!!
THEME: NATURE (Link to National Geographic examples)
As you look through the examples, notice the Depth of Field.....deep for landscapes, details sharp from foreground to background and shallow for for close ups of plants or animals.
Remember, the higher the fstop #, the smaller the aperture, the deeper the focus.
The lower the fstop#, the wider the aperture, the shallow-er the focus ;)
Think Vantage Point-Shooting from angles!
Think Background Clutter and Mergers
Only Color, Tone and/or Filter/Adjustment Layer edits on this one. No compositing!

NEW Friday Photo Challenge!!!
THEME: PHOBIA (Link to Top 100 phobias list)
While this challenge is ripe for photomanipulation, I want you to push yourself to create a shot/story with your camera. Any editing you do should just be retouching/photoediting NOT compositing.
See example below that illustrates fear of the dark. Think about how the lighting was achieved in this shot.....

See example below that illustrates fear of the dark. Think about how the lighting was achieved in this shot.....
How will you illustrate what the phobia so that people understand that it is something that is feared and not just a picture?
How might lighting play a role in telling your story?
Close up? Medium Shot? Wide shot? (Do you need to be close up to read the expression of a model?)
Does the background need to be included to tell the story? Does EVERYTHING within the frame contribute to the story?
Angle? Point of view?
Focus?
BE CREATIVE! USE YOUR COMPOSITION TECHNIQUES!
Interpret it any way you want and create a shot that will catch our attention with its quality and theme. Think about composition and quality (focus/exposure).

NEW ASSIGNMENT! MOOD PORTRAIT WEEBLY POST
- Post your final set of portraits
- List the emotions you tried to convey for each portrait.
- Explain what challenges you encountered while shooting this project and how you conquered them.
- Explain what challenges you encountered in post editing (photoshop) and how you conquered them.
- What was your takeaway from this project? What did you learn?
- What would you like to improve upon going forward?
- What do you like the most about your final product?
Things to do:
- Color Double Exposure Portraits
- Weebly Post: Color Double Exposure Post (3/15/19)
- 2 Adjustment Layer Pics (3/19/19)
- NEW ASSIGNMENT! Double Exposure tutorial- This link provides both a written step by step as well as a video version. Both may be helpful, but if you're like me and need to SEE it being done, scroll straight down to the video. Another Double Exposure tutorial from our PHLEARN buddy that goes a little more in depth on layer mask tricks. Worth the watch!
- Double Exposure Practice Assignment- Find two images from the web to practice this technique. Your goal is to use Layer Masks, Adjustment Layers, and Blend Modes to make the transitions between the two exposures as seamless as possible.
- Gradient Mapping Practice-(4/1/19)
- Levels v Curves Practice- (4/4/2019)
- NEW! Double Exposure Project- Use your own image for the main subject. Take a picture of a person or animal to use as one of your pictures, a head and shoulders shot with a simple, light background is preferred.
- Think lighting so you have better contrast of highlights and shadows. Manipulate natural light with reflectors and flags if necessary.
- You can use web images for the overlays (At least one, but you could use more.) There is a connection between the 'model' and the subject matter of the overlays.
- Adjustment layers (specifically Black and White and Levels, but you could use others) to 'sync' the photos color wise.
- Change the Blend modes to combine the pictures.
- Modification of the pictures with Adjustment Layers and Layers masks are done in such a way that the pictures blend seamlessly AND the important features of each are still visible.
- Think artistically! Will you finish with Color or Texture Overlays? Gradient Mapping? Photo Filters?

- Gradient Mapping Practice-(4/1/19)
- Levels v Curves Practice- (4/4/2019)
- NEW! Double Exposure Project- Use your own image for the main subject. Take a picture of a person or animal to use as one of your pictures, a head and shoulders shot with a simple, light background is preferred.
- Think lighting so you have better contrast of highlights and shadows. Manipulate natural light with reflectors and flags if necessary.
- You can use web images for the overlays (At least one, but you could use more.) There is a connection between the 'model' and the subject matter of the overlays.
- Adjustment layers (specifically Black and White and Levels, but you could use others) to 'sync' the photos color wise.
- Change the Blend modes to combine the pictures.
- Modification of the pictures with Adjustment Layers and Layers masks are done in such a way that the pictures blend seamlessly AND the important features of each are still visible.
- Think artistically! Will you finish with Color or Texture Overlays? Gradient Mapping? Photo Filters?

Taking a break from Double Exposure for a specific Photoshop skill you need to master. It is called 'Select and Mask' aka Refine Edge. If you have done this with me in Digital Design, you will still want to watch this! It does a better job of our first tries with this technique AND will remind you of the tool!
Select and Mask allows you to make precise selections around difficult subjects like hair or trees.
Watch the video below and then practice with the jpegs provided below that. This will be a game changer moving forward. SHOW ME FOR CREDIT WHEN YOU ARE DONE!
START VIDEO AT 3 MINS 20 SECONDS

You can skip through saving methods as we WILL ALWAYS USE AN ADJUSTMENT LAYER and not Image>Adjustments
4 Tutorials- Adjustment Layer Videos Link
TIP: While it is not mentioned in the videos, do not forget the 'clipping mask' option to attach an adjustment layer solely to the layer directly below it.
Adjustment Layer assignment:
1. Open 2 jpegs in Photoshop (Each in their own file.) Let's review
what to look for and do when choosing a photo....
- Large pixel count, 1200 or higher
- When finding and image on Google search, go to the original site and save from there. Do not save from the search page.
your liking. At least one of the four should be the Black and White
Adjustment layer. You can use more than two if you'd like.
3. Use the layer masks within the Adjustment Layers to choose
specific areas of the jpeg to modify.
4. Change the Blend Mode of at least one layer per image.
5. Push your creativity and artistic eye to create something interesting.
This should take at least one class period.
I want to see the .psd files on this one. Call me over for credit when you are done.

- Keep it respectful and supportive.
- Be specific with your comments and suggestions.
- Try not to get defensive. Be open to the suggestions. Explore the idea, then, make a decision as an artist whether to revise or keep 'as is'.
- Make sure no one is left out. As you start to think about who gets your second post, look for blogs that don't have a comment yet.
POSSIBLE COMMENT TOPICS:
- Comment on a technical aspect of the photo (good or bad). For example: focus, exposure, mergers/background clutter etc.
- Comment on the compositional technique...done correctly? the best one for this theme? suggestions?
- Comment on the subject matter/theme. Creativity? Questions?
