I just recently completed an undergraduate degree in Art History at a prestigious (though small) liberal arts college, and I was only a few classes away from double majoring in Studio Art with a focus in photography. I have a large portfolio of my works, and am considering getting a masters of arts or masters of science in photojournalism.

I want the program to include:

* Documentary photography
* Photo editing
* Lighting techniques in photography
* Online photojournalism
* Communication law
* History of photojournalism
* Ethical issues in photojournalism and mass media

I want to try and complete the program in 2-3 years, as I’d like to try and start a career asap.

What schools have a masters program? I’d like to avoid Boston University because I have slightly bad history with them. In a city would be best, such as Seattle or Portland or NYC. Also, I can go anywhere in France, as I speak fluent French.

I see photojournalism as opening more doors than my art history degree, as it might give me communication and technical skills that are applicable to the workforce (and it would at least allow me to set up a website where I could give myself some professional credit to at least take wedding and party pictures for money). After that, if I’m a total failure as a photographer and photojournalist, I’d like to try Cultural Property and Art Law.

Thoughts?

Frankly, it appears you need to do more basic research on your own as it appears you’ve haven’t really solidified any particular degree path or job you can viably get post grad as your interests appear to be terribly scattered.

This is my next project for my photography classs and i need some ideas on what object to shoot. We have to pick one object (anything) and shoot for 3 different intentions(described below in the rubric).
I am not sure what object to pick and would liek some ideas. Remember that it cant be a person and has to be something that I have access to.

RUBRIC:

Objective: to take 3 themes and shoot each theme for a seperate intention. Shoot 2-3 photos for each category in a theme.

1. For Documentary: Photograph the facts as if the photo were to appear in a fancy magazine.

2.For Art- Photograph from interesting angles, use dramatic lighting, cropping techniques, different lenses, etc.

3.For Humor- Photograph and or print using irony or humor. Can use other props or people.

—————————————————————————————————

Please help! I need to shoot this project tomorrow and need the ideas before then.

thanks!

If you live in a city, shoot old buildings or go to the park

Or you could do an abandoned playground

or a shoe store

Before you all were professional you had to work with terrible cameras and terrible settings. My question is related to the camera. Forget lighting and the art. I know this is 80% of quality work and I agree.

But my question is what "ghetto" techniques did you use to avoid noise? How could you keep a camera stable without a tripod?

If I go back to my roots, there was no such thing as "noise", just grain. I used a lower ISO film (called ASA then) as far as no tripod, this was the old standby : http://www.brighthub.com/multimedia/photography/articles/31585.aspx

documentary/lighting techniques preferred

Art Institute Of Austin.

Found it at http://www.photographyschools.com

The site allows you to search by state and discipline – portrait, documentary, etc.

i remembered that a long time ago i saw a photo on flickr. the girl took the picture of herself and it was normal brightness but then a random streak of red appeared. i dont think the photo was processed but i think she used an old camera or something? it appeared in a random spot where (im not sure if its right but the light bled through or something?)
anyway it wasnt a normal mishap either because she has many photos of the same thing
thanks!

Most likely the seal on the camera has developed a light leak that is allowing a streak of light to overexpose part of the image when the light strikes the camera at a certain angle.

i’m not sure on what to do for my project. I really don’t know if photography is really what I want to do in life either. I take a ton of photos outdoors. I like capturing the sky, the trees, flowers, etc. all the things nature has to offer. I love the way it looks. I usually edit the photos unless I’m just completely blown away by the actual photo.

My project is due Monday (and I just found out about it) it’s for my Career Ed class. I plan on putting it on power point. of course, at the end, I will display my ‘gallery’ of photos. I was just wondering:

-what landscape photographers wear
-where they can get jobs (in magazines, companies, etc)
-salary?
-equipment

sorry it’s a lot to ask, I just think that people here would give better answers. I’ve been looking on websites and through a bunch of books. All I ever find is things like techniques, lighting, etc. It’s not much help. (for the project. Of course I can’t wait to spend time on reading through all the information.)
i know it’s a stupid question on what they wear! gosh, it’s my teacher. she decided that every career needs one. if they don’t have a uniform, make one up that would go with the job.

I ware jeans and clothing to stay warm or cool depending on the weather.
Most landscape images that I have sold have been at art shows.
Salary? what salary.. free lance work pays what ever you make it pay with your skills and marketing.
When I used film the for this the 4×5 view camera and my Hasselblad were my choice.

Back to the "uniform" .. when I want ppl to think I am a pro I tend to put on my photo vest with all the pockets. It is interesting how that is seen as the "uniform" of the trade.

I need to take photo of my art works, sculpture and painting.

How to prepare lighting? technique? DIY kit? Photoshop?

I have a 8m digital camera.

Thank you for answer.

For sculpture and objects, a light tent and (preferably) three lights to reduce/eliminate shadows. I don’t care for "no shadow" look, as some shadow give the object depth and substance. Paintings should be shot head-on to give straight lines. Lighting should be daylight temperature (around 5600 Kelvin) to keep the colors true.

Hello

I am looking for a photography book on lighting, use of flash, understanding post processing techniques, or any really good photography book that has a workshop included with it. I would describe myself as a comfortable with photography, but still learning. I currently am using an SLR camera, and my main focus is portrait photography, specifically of children. I am trying to overcome the following obstacles:

1. Understanding how and when to use my external flash to the best of it’s ability
2. How and what techniques for post processing would be most beneficial.

I’ve been told my composition is spot on, I am not concerned with that. Mostly I want to gain a deeper understanding of flash, when it’s best to use it, how is best to use it, and as well of post processing tips and techniques.

I am working with Adobe CS4 and Lightroom 2.6.

Thanks in advance…

Check out "Hot Shoe Diaries" by Joe McNally and "Speedlights & Speedlites" by Lou Jones, Bob Keenan and Steve Ostrowski.

I am really interested in photography and just got my first good camera.
So my question is (as said) what’s just some basic stuff I should know about photography? effects? techniques? sets? getting my stuff out there? focusing? photography "slang"? exposure? lighting? etc… thank you so much and I will always pick a best answer ^_^

It seems like your know very little about photography. you might just want to take a class.

if someone has a terrible shot for their avitar does it do much for your confidence if they start describing techniques or start talking lighting??

i have seen some shockers,,,,,they answer camera or photography questions poorly generally also

is it a reasonable guide??

feel free to post links to funny or poor ones if you like i have seen some shockers……..
