Introduction to Photography

Photography Adding colour and movement

Why add images?
Illustrate – some stories need illustration
Sometimes image is the story
Emote – add visual emotion
Balance – overall look of page
Keep your audience

Elements
Story
Subject
Location
Composition
Perspective

Story
Plan your photos as you would plan the story
Plan to relate the photo to the story
Be flexible – if the photo suggests a different hook for the web story - go with it.

Location
How will location affect your shots
How will time of day add or detract
How much time to take your shots

Subject
What is the subject of the story
Does the subject make a good photo
People make better photos than things

Composition
The rule of thirds
Framing and framing
Close and wide – long and tight

Perspective
“ If your photo isn’t good enough you probably aren’t close enough”
Use different angles
Think of eye lines – the talents not yours

Portraits
Want 3-d
no distractions
Plain clothes
Backgrounds
Even Light
Angle bodies
Angled shots
No studios, headphones!
