Wednesday 14th May – Photographing Practice Workshop
This work shop was very simple showing us how to take the best photo of our own work. This will prepare us for the future for when we have to photograph our editorial in a few weeks as well as for further projects that are in need of placing in context within the real world/ market place.
The tutor spoke about the way the lights have to be positioned, the different elements within the lights, such as the brightness and the colour. This means that the image can have whiter whites and blacker blacks, instead of the grey glaze that normally happens. Also the lights are soft to remove any harsh shadows.
For our work we needed to place the camera on what seems like a hoist angled to a flat board which holds the 2D work. However, I became curious about other screen. This was the place for all the 3D objects. The area is fitted with an infinity screen in the back and a main light that made it look like day light.
