Photo editing assignments

Students will use a photo editor to crop, lighten, darken, sharpen, resize and remove red eye from photos. Students can use these techniques to improve the photos used in their assignments with PowerPoint / Google Slides presentations, brochures, posters, videos, websites, etc.

Don’t forget to “Learn to do by doing”!  Use a journal to keep organized notes about techniques you use, what the outcomes were and things you’d like to try. It is also good to write down ideas as they come to you, or when you see something that inspires you to try something new.

As a simple assignment, do a photo project of just photographing stuff on the ground. You will find lots of interesting subject-matter if you look closely enough. The world is a rich and beautiful place to take photos. Sometimes we complain that there is “nothing to photograph.” Yet in reality, we’re just not looking hard enough.

Photographing the same object will also improve your lighting knowledge. To make your daily photos look exciting, you’ll have to experiment with different angles, types of lighting, and editing. All of these photography assignments will make you an incredible still life photographer. 6. Quit Social Media Temporarily
