Pierre JavelleAkiko Ida • Learning Objectives Students will: • Look closely and critically at photographs. • Analyze images encountered in museums and daily life through a variety of strategies. • Write responses to the images based on their descriptive, reflective, and formal analytic ability. • Apply what they have learned by taking photographs. • Write artist's statements to accompany their photographs.
Food Art • The human figures in these images are 1.5 centimeters high. The food is real and every image is created without digital manipulation. • The images created make food seem dangerous - exotic locations against which the tiny human figures are struggling.
Food Art • Taking close-up pictures of small things is called "macro photography.” • Macro photography is photography magnified. It is generally recognized as “macro” when you are increasing the size of an object in your picture from about half life-size, as represented on the image sensor, to five times life-size.
Food Art • As a general rule you should use an f-stop no wider/larger than f/16 to get all or most of the main subject in focus. • If you are photographing a subject that can’t be arranged more or less on the same plane, you will have to decide which parts of it you want in focus.
Food Art • When shooting macro photography, using a narrow depth of field is unavoidable. This actually causes a pleasant result, since the background will appear totally out of focus, and you can usually use a natural setting to compose your picture.
Food Art • Get creative with macro photography by shooting the subject from an unexpected angle. • Try different lighting, as well, using front lighting for deeper color saturation and side lighting to highlight texture. • A good sturdy tripod is essential.
Food Art • Autofocus doesn’t always work well when shooting extreme close-up photography. Switch to manual focus and you’ll get more consistently sharp macro pictures.
Food Art • A close-up attachment is a flat, filter-like lens that mounts to the front of your normal lens (it usually screws into the filter thread) and allows you to focus more closely. • You will be able to focus at closer distances, although the maximum magnification will depend on the focal length of the lens you’re attaching it to.
Food Art • Use the fastest shutter speed possible and use a ring flash or flash units mounted to your lens if shooting at a low aperture. • It is usually impractical to use your camera’s built-in pop-up flash when doing macro photography. The length of the lens, with or without all of its macro attachments, will cause a shadow from the camera’s flash.
Artwork Presentation • The work will be printed using a colour photocopier in an A3 format (420 x 297 mm X 250 DPI.) • The work may be in an horizontal or vertical format, square or rectangular. • All work will be presented in your folio with an evaluation sheet.
Theory Presentation • Prerequisites: This lesson should follow previous discussions and lessons on Photography. • Objectives: Students will analyze a photograph, making observations about it’s content; • Students use these observations to draw conclusions; • Each student will create a digital presentation(PPT) in which they analyze photos of their choice from the perspective of the photographer. • Estimated Time: 3 to 5 class periods + HW • PPT. due Friday August 3.
