Assignment 16 - The Playing Card Project - a mini concentration

Playing cards are interesting.  They have different meanings depending on the use, the location, and the audience.  They also have a unique visual appeal and look.  But what if you were to see a playing card out of context?  What would you think?  What would you suspect or do? 

And this becomes your assignment.  Using playing cards - one card or an entire deck - you will create a mini concentration that might or might not create a narrative.  The images should work together, in the end, but the individual images should be strong, striking, interesting, and above all, unique.

Due:  March 28, end of class.

Assignment 15 - The Low of High Fashion Photography

High fashion photography.  That usually seems to conjure images of elite models, clothes a normal person can't afford, and destinations far beyond our wildest dreams.  But what if we could switch this image to be something just the opposite.  What if we took all these components and created high fashion photography using regular people, a location that was "everyday", with clothes that might not be deemed "high" fashion (or even fashion at all?  What would that look like to you?

Your assignment:  Create a series of fashion images that would be suitable for Vogue, Cosmopolitan, or any other fashion magazine.  Think outside the box and, with your knowledge of cameras and settings, compose a unique look that would be a show stopper.

Due:  March 14/15
