Topic 3 - Passion / Post-processing


For the next round of shooting I am asking you to expand your vision to create a sense of space that builds a place for the viewer to visit, and create sense of time that includes the potential for something to happen (or indicates that something has already happened), and inhabit the photographs with 'feel' by establishing relationships between space and time and the people contained within (or the absence of people) to create emotional content (shared memories, dreams, expectations...).

And you still have to consider all of the elements of Framing and Composition that were learned in the first critique, including closeness (proximity), angle of view (attitude), and a beauty of visual geometry (as Cartier-Bresson puts it). And, as always, since this is photography – you need great light (luminance).

So how does all this stack up:
closeness (proximity), 
angle of view (attitude), 
a sense of place (space), 
a potential for activity (time),
shared memories (emotion) 
and great light (luminance)
and all with a sense of MYSTERY

To this we will add the next big term =  PASSION!

That begins the discussion for the Content part of the next topic. We still have to talk about the Form part, the technique. Now it is time to start playing with all of those apps and see if you can use post-processing to make photographic statements and not just rely on the subject. You are already well on the way to doing this. Now just take it further!
