Photography - Graphic Design/Advertising

Good afternoon photography students. Today you will be looking at advertising photography. You will be taking a picture to create an ad for a product. You need to hold a photo shoot and then take your image to the computer to edit and ad information for your product. This will be a three day project. When you are finished you will upload your ad to our Shutterfly class page. 

Go to the following Pinterest link to see a variety of advertising photography.

Day 1: Research Advertising Photography. Find out what you like and what you don't like. What would you like to photograph and then think what are the possibilities that you can photograph it (We don't live by the ocean, so I would not have photograph an ad including an image of the ocean as a reasonable goal for this assignment). What props do you need to take your pictures?

Day 2: Make it happen. Set up and photograph your subject. Take many pictures so you have lots of options. 

Day 3: Edit your image on the computer. Photoshop is your friend :) .
