For this week’s photo challenge, we will take photos of two different phobias. THE PHOTOS MUST APPEAR TO BE SCARY AND HAVE TEXT THAT LOOKS SCARY.
Step 1: FIND YORU PHOBIAS from http://phobialist.com/
Step 2: Plan out your shots. You will shoot this one a little differently, begin with the end in mind. Plan it out in your mind. Where will you shoot it? What props will you need to arrange for/purchase? Will you need to get your props from Goodwill or the Dollar Tree?
What objects will you need to bring in from home?
Step 3: Take several pictures, keep shooting until you have a photo you really love, then take another just for safetysake, throughout the shooting process, ask yourself how the photo reflects the specific phobias you have chosen.DO NOT TURN IN BLURRY PHOTOS! IF YOUR PHOTOS ARE BLURRY, SHOOT AGAIN UNTIL THEY ARE ‘TACK SHARP.’
Step 4: Photoshop those images! Almost all images need a little adjusting in photoshop. Whether its adjusting the levels of white, grey or black, or using brightness contrast, or adjusting color balance. Whether it needs to be straightened or just cropped a bit, ALL PHOTOS NEED SOME PHOTOSHOP!!!
YOU WILL BE GRADED ON HOW WELL YOUR PHOTOGRAPH MATCHES THE FEEL OF THE PHOBIA.IF THIS IS A FEAR, IT SHOULD LOOK SCARY!
Step5: Photoshop the phobia’s name onto your photos. Do it in a place that seems to fit in with the composition of your photograph, don’t just slap it down everywhere.
Step6: Be proud of the work you did. If you are not proud, SHOOT IT AGAIN
