Shooting Assignment #2 – due March 13th

  • The goal of this assignment is to create photos that represent the primary and secondary colors of the color wheel. Also shoot these digitally so we can compare.                
  • Red • Orange • Yellow • Green • Blue • Violet
  • For next week bring at least one roll of film, processed, so that we can learn scanning.
  • Each photo should have a dominant and recessive color.  For instance, if you are creating a photo to representred, red should be the dominant color.  Choose a scenario that has a secondary color in the background that accentuates the foreground color.
  • Example photos for assignment
