AP 2-D photographers September-October


Those of you, and you know who you are, who are planning on creating a 2-D photography concentration for the months of September-October your area of unique focus is learning Adobe Photoshop. I will give a few demos on Monday and Wednesday to get you started.

I would like you to explore the Internet looking for techniques, tutorials, examples and ideas. Remember in the agreement I gave you, making a choice to create a photography concentration portfolio requires that you are self motivated. What can you discover about Adobe Photoshop? What can you teach your fellow photographers? What can you learn and apply to your images?

Here is a page I Googled with 41 tutorials on super cool Adobe Photoshop tricks. http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/41-nicest-photoshop-photo-effects-photoshop-tutorials/

    1. I am doing aging as my concentration so I think messing with the age progression can be super useful and it looks sooo real!
    2. Make photos look "lomofied" and they look so much more unique
    3. Dynamic Lighting (layering two pictures)
    Some of them kind of turned out cheesy but i guess they were for advertisements but i am soo excited to work with this!!

  5. At the Oregon fair I saw a really cool series done by a photographer. He did portraits of people in their work places but instead of taking one photo, he took many at slightly different angles and times and put them together in a grid. I might do something kind of like that.

  7. I loved the picture of the little Asian boy, he looked like an air bender!! This was really interesting!! I want to know how long a photo like that would take! I could just say that I'm curious, excited, and anxious!

  11. I should have learned the 'tricks of the trade' to adobe photoshop by now, but I really don't like learning things from my mother... who is a Graphic Designer. Photography won't be part of my concentration, but it seems like a useful skill to have for future art projects.
