Photography Reference File


Make a Photography Reference File on your Laptop

Label each photo with the technique used.

Please scour the internet, magazines, and photos you've already taken to find STELLAR examples of the following photography tricks:

*Note: These should be outstanding photographs that you really get inspiration from, not the 1st one that popped up on google image.

Then post your FAVORTIE TEN on your blog and be sure to tell me what technique each is using

  1. high depth of field
  2. low depth of field
  3. rule of thirds
  4. selective color - only one thing has color
  5. macro - close up
  6. silhouette
  7. below eye level
  8. at eye level
  9. above eye level
  10. aerial view
  11. wide angle
  12. movement
  13. motion blur
  14. stop motion - no blur
  15. emotive portrait- should evoke some kind of feeling/mood
  16. landscape
  17. night photography
  18. candid - subjects don't know the photo is being taken
  19. abstract - can't tell what the subject is
  20. photomanipulation - altered in photoshop or a darkroom
  21. lines
  22. framing
  23. Wildlife
  24. Fashion
  25. perspective
  26. multiple exposure - layered photos
  27. something unexpected
  28. something for fun
  29. a series (include at least 3)
  30. SOMETHING OF YOURS!

    Emotive Portrait (note that it's not a face, but still a figure)

    Framing- when the subject has objects around it like a "frame"

    Multiple Exposure! this one has a LOT of layers, but sometimes they just have 2

    WIDE ANGLE photos can be spotted because they tend to look "bigger" on the sides, notice how the 2 waiters look so tall compared to the Newlyweds?
