Kitchen Imagination

Kitchen Imagination 25 points
7 Photos, Due October 21

The purpose of this assignment is to exercise your creativity and showing how you can create interesting photographs from everyday objects.

The Clarence H. White School of Photography started the careers of many photographers. One of the assignments was to create a still life made from objects located in a kitchen.

So, for this assignment you will create a 7 still-life images from items found in your kitchen that illustrate an understanding of at least 3 fundamentals such as line, texture, balance, perspective, or depth of field (see Chapter 9 p. 171 for a full list).

Don't overlook the fridge, kitchen drawers, cabinets, etc. You can photograph the items as you find them or make your own arrangement (stacking soup cans, for example).

Remember, besides your still life subjects, great light is key to creating a great photograph.

Camera settings:
ISO anywhere from 100-400
Camera set to Manual
No built-in camera flash
Tripod optional (depending on setup and amount of light) If you don't have a lot of light to work with or want a large f-stop, you may need one.
