My final assignment for Creative Design Level 1 was to use different photographic styles to shoot a subject chosen by the class. Several ideas were suggested but everyone ultimately decided upon keys as the subject. The choices of photographic styles include:
- Studied, Contemplative
- Documentation
- Photojournalistic
- Emotional
- Suspended Animation
- Abstract
- Sidelong Glimpse
- Isolation, Ambiguity
This was one of the images that I finally decided to submit and is representative of the abstract style. The viewer can recognize that this as a key but by shooting only the shadow, I have presented it in a creative way not normally seen.
For this image I had my wife hold up the key in front of a flashlight. The backdrop is white piece of foam core. Camera settings were as follows:
- Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT
- f6.3 @ 1/6 of a sec
- Tamron 30-200mm Lens at 150mm
I will take a break from classes during the Christmas season which will give me some time to practice my Photoshop skills and attempt to digitize some of my older photos that were taken before I moved to all digital. Wish me luck!
