Assignment #3 The Body
The human body has been a source of inspiration since art was...well art. In this assignment you may choose to photograph the human body as a cultural device, a political symbol or a portrait. Photography can be an additive practice as we have discussed in class, but no where is this more evident than the lighting studio. You begin with a black room, add a back ground, set lights, determine camera angle and lastly choose a subject.
In this assignment you will enlist the help of a human subject, no younger than 14 years old and photograph them under controlled lighting conditions. If you choose to use studio lights, pay attention to direction of main and fill lights and ratio between each source. In the studio, everything matters.
Artists to research are: Karsh, Avedon, Halsman, Leibovitz, Weston, Krims, Arbus.
The critique for this assignment is March 9th and the class will begin at the 8:30am meeting time.
