Beautifully Unhinged


The lesson was divided into 4 parts, and every group was assigned to spend 15 or more minutes  for each task. Everything we did in class that day had a purpose to be later on used in our book covers.


The first assignment was to take photos of a skeleton. We had been adviced to play with the shadows and filters, to create a more mortuary character of the photos. The second project took place outdoors. We were supposed to take various photos of trees, that reminded us of one of the main topics of the book. The third task was another photoshoot of some glass elements combinated with lights from different positions. And the last one was a photoshoot with a living object. We had used a shutter and different light strenghts for this one.


There are a few new things that I have learned during that lesson. First, we  made a great use of the colour filters available at the studio (although none of these fitted on my camera). Then I have learned about adjusting the lights in the room. It was also the first time I have been talking to a model, during a photo shoot to achive different expressions and postures.
