What is photo composition? Photo composition is how a photographer arranges visual elements within their frame. “It's a pleasing organization of objects within your rectangle,” says photographer Adam Long.
Assignment #5: Angles Assignment:
TAKE 2 TWO GOOD PHOTOS OF EACH ANGLE.
The angle refers to the degree at which the camera points towards the subject. Holding the camera at a horizontal level to the subject is known as 'eye-level angle', holding the camera facing downwards is known as 'high angle', and holding it facing upwards is known as 'low angle'.
The medium shot
The medium shot may be similar to many of your typical photographs. A subject is captured from around the knees or waist to the top of the head. We can’t see their entire body, but we are close enough to establish a primary connection with the person. We can view aspects of the background that have been permitted to appear in the frame. Medium shots are the baseline of where we will begin. Not always the most interesting, but medium shots are fundamental.
The Close-up
More intimate and ‘in your face': the closeup aims at creating a stronger connection to the subject. Suddenly we can clearly see a person’s emotions and can easily connect with their humanity. If our subject is older, we may be able to see wrinkles of time, which tell a story within themselves. Close-ups are great when you want an intimate documentary style shot where the world disappears, and your subject is the clear focus.
Long Shot
Excellent for telling stories, long shots allow us to see not only our subject but also their environment. Depending on how a long shot is setup, we may find a person surrounded by their workspace, and thus we learn a bit more about their lives. Other times, a subject can be surrounded by seemingly endless isolated. Long shots help us to take photographs that establish a person’s position within the world.
The Dutch Angle
Becoming increasingly criticized for its modern overuse in still photography, Dutch angles can help to tell us something about the photograph or its subject is not entirely right. Typically used to depict the world on its side, Dutch angles can be artfully utilized to tell us that something is wrong. Maybe the subject is in danger, or their state of mind isn’t properly grounded.
Low Angle/Worm's Eye View
Taking a photograph from a low angle, also know as a ‘worm’s-eye view’, makes subjects appear larger than normal. The lens sees the scene from a point of humility while the subject towers over the world. A photograph taken from a low angle to help establish dominance or power.
High Angle
Looking at the exact opposite situation, the high angle can be used to make a subject appear small or vulnerable. Commonly known as the ‘bird’s-eye view’, shots like these may be used to signal that a subject is in danger or has lost dominance in their environment. Add a dutch angle and something bad is almost certainly about to happen.
Extreme Close-up
The most intimate of all shots, the extreme close-up, goes beyond the standard close-up by focusing on a single feature. We may see a drop of sweat drip down a subject’s check or the fear in a pair of eyes. Close-ups may be shot with macro lenses due to how close they are to a subject. However they are shot, extreme close-ups allow us to get emotionally under the skin of our subjects.
Over the Shoulder shot
An over the shoulder shot can be used to show a relationship between another persona and our subject. We take a position next to the main subject getting close-up in their space and viewing the world as if we were standing with them. We may connect our model with a physical item or another individual within their space. The over the shoulder position places us within the world of the documented subject

Assignment 4: Photography Scavenger Hunt
Remember:
All of this work needs to be handed in on the M Drive to Ms Larizza or emailed to her at: etel.larizza@sd71.bc.ca
Assignments this term:
Hello students, there is a free Photoshop like program you could download at home if you need to do work at home in a Photoshoplike program. Continue to work hard and ask for help if you need it. Also use your time wisely!
Slideshows can also be done at home but you need to have all of your photos at home to do this.
1. Save everything to one drive for access at home
2. Copy all of your photos on a usb drive take home and put on your home computer
The Photostory program can be downloaded on a PC for free. For those of you with Macs use iMovie it is a simple program. Some of you might even be able to find a slideshow app on your phone....but you will need to get all of your final photos onto your phone.
No matter which way you look at it, the final slideshow is a BIG part of of your final mark so get it done!
If you have not done your Portrait slideshows, do not think I have not noticed. You have already lost 10 marks, so get it done and get MS Larizza to mark asap.
Hello photography students. I will be away until the end of term. I wanted you to know that I have been very pleased with the quality of work you have produced. I have not forgotten about our photo contest...and in semester 2, I will call a meeting of the winners to collect prizes, since I have so many prizes! Please continue to work hard over the next few weeks until the end of term so you can finish strong. Your final mark in the course will be an average of your term 1 and term 2 marks.
The following assignments need to be marked and completed before the end of term. Final slideshows will be presented the last week of term in class. Check with Ms Larizza ( the TOC) to make sure you have all of your work marked.
Assignments this term:
Even if you do not have enough photos to put in your slideshow make sure you complete the assignment with something to present. Not done will get you a zero, something done/some effort might just get you a passing grade. This assignment is worth 50 marks, so it should be top priority based on how much the assignment is worth.
