The students begun the session by telling us about their homework task from the week before, bringing in portraits or poses they liked and saying why.
They were then split into 3 groups for 3 diffrent workshops that were rotated around.
One of the groups involving taking photographs using natural light, and working with reflectors, and also about positioning a subject to take a photo.
The other group were introducted to using 'hard light' for taking photos, how to take a light reading, changing the exposure on a camera in responce to the light reading, and positioning the subject in the light. They were also encouraged to take photos from different positions/angles, and also to take photos with larger or smaller exposure times on the camera to see how the photos differ if you didnt take a light reading. I took this session. I felt like the students really responded well to this exercise, and found comfortable taking about the different aspects of the lights and cameras with them.
The other group did an exercise with Howard, in which he brought in a 'feely box.' Basically a number of different objects were placed in a box and the students had to feel the objects without knowing what it was, and a photograph of their reaction was taken. A large number of students seemed to really enjoy this exercise, and there was alot of very positive feedback about the boxes.
We need to get permission from the students to post photos, but hopefully some images from this weeks session will be put on this blog.
