After reviewing the photos contained in the link above, answer the following questions using complete sentences.

How different do the streets and street scenes look without people or cars? What sorts of things does your imagination fill in, because nothing else is there? How important is light and color when there isn’t cars or people to photograph? What sorts of moods are created with these photos?

Step 1: Get together in your CFGs and pull up the Metaphor Assignment photos you made last week. All of the work that was turned in last week is up now on the website.

Step 2: Each person should be able to answer these questions about each photo in your CFG. Write down the group’s thinking on each of these questions for each of your photos. Post the answers in a google doc and turn it into Google Classroom. Critiques are due on Wednesday.

1. How did the photographer embed metaphor into these photographs? What is the photographer trying to say with these metaphors? Do these objects/people make you think of something larger than the work itself? What photographic techniques were used to create these visual metaphors? How so? What sort of moods are created? What is the photographer trying to say with these photos?

2. Overall, what could be done to make these photos stronger?

Each person turn in a copy of their group’s answers to the above questions

After viewing the photos contained in the above link, answer the following questions using complete sentences.

What themes do you notice running through Takakura’s work? What are they trying to say in these images? What ideas do you get for your own cloned photography?

 

For this week’s photo challenge, you will create cloned images of the same person or pet. Don’t do objects as that’s too easy to duplicate naturally.

What makes this possible is taking multiple images at the same location. YOU WILL NEED A TRIPOD FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT. Once you have your images, you stack them in Photoshop using Layer/Duplicate Layer. Then you use layer masks to create the cloned effect.

MAKE SURE TO LEAVE PLENTY OF ROOM BETWEEN CLONES. IF THEY DO OVERLAP IT BECOMES VERY TRICKY TO FIX.

TWO cloned images are due before 12/12.
