Photograph y Exercises

Before we start, think of the four F’s: 1. Frame: choose carefully what to include in your photo 2. Focus: be sure to understand how to focus 3. Follow through: allow your camera time to take the picture 4. Flash/ Light: think about where the light is coming from Photography Exercises

And, remember the three ways to convey your message visually 1.Photographing reality: What is happening NOW 2. Photographing symbols: Show an idea, concept or a theme 3. Posing the scene: Photographing an arranged scene Photography Exercises

Exercise 1: Flash & light (30 minutes) Work in groups of two: Find a dark room or space and place your colleague in the darkest corner. –Take a portrait of him/her on mode: (That is one with/one without flash) Change roles and repeat exercise. Pick a different spot. Photography Exercises

Now place your colleague in the light coming from the window (that is: the light is coming from your back) and take a picture Change positions and do it again Photography Exercises

Feedback Facilitator collects pictures and gives feedback on some of the results Look at your results: what can you say about the difference between the pictures taken ‘in the dark’, with a flash and with natural light coming from the window. Which do you prefer? Photography Exercises

Exercise 2: Composition (30 minutes) Work in groups of two: Take four different pictures of the same subject (your working partner or maybe a chair or a car or a table). –Change the angle or position so that you play with different ways of photographing something or someone. Change roles and repeat exercise. Pick a different spot. Photography Exercises

Feedback Facilitator collects pictures and gives feedback to some of the results Look at the results: what can you say about the different corners, focus and composition? What do you prefer? Photography Exercises

Exercise 3: Focus (30 minutes) Work in groups of two: - Position your working partner from the waist up on the one side of your frame. - Make sure there is another subject in the background of your frame (this can be a tree, a car, a person etc.) - Now take one picture with your working partner in focus. And another picture with the other subject in focus. - Change roles and repeat the exercise. Photography Exercises

Feedback Facilitator collects pictures and gives feedback to some of the results Look at the results: what can you say about the different corners, focus and composition? What do you prefer? Photography Exercises

Exercise 4: Visualising a VIP… (75 minutes) Work in groups (3 or 4): - The facilitator hands out the name of a well known person to each group. Or the group can come up with a VIP themselves. Don’t tell the other groups. - Make a list of the characteristics of the VIP Photography Exercises

- As a group you choose five characteristics that best represent the VIP - As a group you are going to take photos that represent these characteristics. - From all the pictures your group took, you choose five. - Without saying who the characteristics represent, one group presents their pictures to the rest of the participants. - The other groups try to guess who the VIP is! Photography Exercises

Exercise 5: Photographing concepts (75 minutes) Work in groups of three or four: - Each group receives a concept. The group cannot show it to others - Each group has a few minutes to think how they can visualise their concept - Take up to eight photos that show the concept - Remember the three ways of conveying your message. Photography Exercises

-When photographing: try to make use of your surroundings as much as possible -From these 8 photos, you will have to select your three best ones together with the facilitator. -As a group you then discuss which photos together show the concept best. - Each group presents their pictures to the rest of the participants. The rest try to guess what concept is shown. Photography Exercises
