Fun with Refraction Photography!
Starting this week, each of you will photograph water refractions in class. We will use various glass vases and cups. You can select a pattern, person, or scene to refract. Vases and cups may be taken outside, or you can use the light set up in class.
Select your best 2 photos you captured, edit in Lightroom and post on your blog. Large size, change link to media file. Due by Dec. 12, 2023.

3. Worksheet_Guidelines – Storytelling Through Photography
Turn in your filled out worksheet by this Thursday 11/16/23
Take one photograph that tells a story by referencing an iconic image either from art history, photography, or contemporary culture. You can take a photograph of yourself (self portrait), someone else, or a group photograph. Your photograph must communicate an idea or tell a story. It doesn’t have to be about a social topic but it can if you’d like. It can be about your relationship with family, friends, things that interest you, or something you notice that’s going on in the world. Answer the questions in the worksheet when considering what story to tell. Answering these questions can help to develop your own photographic story and create meaning on a deeper level. Be prepared to present your photographs to the class.
