Week 7 Wrap-Up

Aida Muluneh, Strength in Honor, 2016


Hi Everyone,

Today, we dug deeper into the Photoshop workflow, looking at basic adjustments and simple retouching. Please click on the "How-To" tab to find more information and options for retouching your photos outside of class.

Next week is our second critique. You will be showing 20 new images related to your series. We will have a little bit of time at the start of class to organize images and to revisit Photoshop. Please be sure to bring all of your files (as well as a hard drive or USB drive).

On to this week's homework:
  • Firstly (and most importantly), concentrate on shooting for your project and next week's critique.
  • Secondly, use this week to complete and post any homework assignments you may have missed. I will be getting in touch before next class with a short midterm review. If you have any questions about the homework, or aren't sure of how to complete an assignment related to a class you may have missed, email me and we'll sort it out. Not sure if you missed an assignment? Click on the homework tab to see all of the weekly assignments or click on your label to se everything you've posted.
  • Finally, email me a preliminary artist Statement, roughly 1 paragraph. Keep in mind this is a first draft and isn't expected to be perfect or anywhere near resolved.


That's all for this week. Please let me know if you have any questions, and see you next Saturday!

Week 6 Wrap-Up

Tim Walker, from the W Magazine Editiorial Stranger Than Paradise
Hello everyone!

Today, we worked collaboratively with the Fashion Styling class, with each of you partnering with a stylist and a model to produce a look and a series of photographs.

You all did a fantastic job--working collaboratively can be a real challenge (never mind with incredibly tight time and location constraints), but you all nailed it.

We'll debrief a bit about this assignment next class, but in the meantime your homework is to post your favorite and best images from the shoot and to complete any past work you may have missed. Over the next two weeks I will be sending out mid-term reviews, so now is your last chance to get caught up.

That's all for the moment--see you next week!
