ASSIGNMENT INFORMATION
Assignments are posted on Saturday mornings, usually by Noon, Pacific. You have two weeks to create the image and submit it on the upload form. PLEASE CHECK the date of the assignment so you will know if you have enough time to do the current assignment, or go to the next assignment listed below that makes more sense for your time frame.
I look forward to seeing what you do with these real-world assignments.
Tips:
- Allow enough time to do the assignment correctly.
- If you are having some creative challenges, ask for help on the FB community.
- Search Google for examples of what you are trying to do.
- Sketch with pen and paper, or camera to find your image.
- Gather all of your props and styling tools before you begin the shoot.
- If possible, make sure you can leave your set up until after you have received some feedback from the Facebook group, or you know you got the shot.
- Sketch/photograph and measure your set – you must remember to do a behind the scenes shot (BTS) so you can upload it with your image. BTS shots are a big part of the success we have at P52.
USE THESE PRODUCTION SHEETS FOR MANAGING YOUR WORK.
