This assignment has students looking for interesting ways to capture reflections. It does not have to be of a person- it can be a landscape with reflections, an interesting shot in a mirror, or some other reflective material. Look for the UNUSUAL!
Students will create a still life according to the set up instructions given in the PowerPoint lecture. The items must be personal to them and must mean something together. Lighting plays a big part in the success of this picture as well as the placement of the objects together.
Think about what you want to say about yourself and how you fit into this world we live in. You are going to use the timer on the camera and capture a shot of yourself that reflects something you feel.
