Our new project theme is 'Distortion'. Over half term, I would like you to take a set of photographs which you think look 'distorted' in some way.
You could: - Use your knowledge of how a camera operates to create the distortion if you have a DSLR at home (think about playing with aperture or shutter speed) - Distort your images by taking photographs through something (e.g. glass, plastic, water) which distorts whatever is behind/underneath them. - If you like, you could take your photographs and then edit them using Affinity so that they become distorted.
How you create your distortion is completely up to you. These photographs do not have to be linked to any specific photographers, this is your 'initial response' (the ideas that first come into your mind) to the theme of 'distortion'.
Green (grade 1/2) a) Take one photoshoot (with at least 8 photos) inspired by the theme of distortion. b) Upload your photos using the gallery icon. c) Put a title above your gallery of 'Initial response to distortion'. Amber (grade 3) a) Take two photoshoots (with at least 8 photos per shoot). Think about lighting (time of day if using natural lighting), angles and the overall composition of your images. b) Upload your photos using the gallery icon. c) Put a title above your gallery of 'Initial response to distortion'. Red (grades 4+) a) Take two or more shoots (with at least 16+ photos per shoot) and carefully consider your choice of lighting, angles, composition, model, costume, props and background. b) Upload your photos using the gallery icon. c) Put a title above your gallery of 'Initial response to distortion'.
