Selecting and finalising and displaying…

Over the next two weeks you will be…

  1. selecting your most successful images (from the abstract unit)
  2. finalising your most successful images (from the abstract unit)
  3. displaying your most successful images (from the abstract unit)

So…you must create a set of blog posts that clearly shows your thought process, selection criteria, image enhancement and manipulation, and how you intend to display your final image / set of images.

Selection Criteria

Focus…is the image(s) in focus ?

Exposure….is the images(s) correctly exposed ?

Evidence of learning…does the image refer to at least one of the formal elements?

Connection to a chosen photographer…how close is the relationship ?

Unique / interesting…how sophisticated / complex is your image(s)

Examples

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is image-107.jpeg
3 images that go together = a triptych
This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is image-587.png
A grid / gallery of images can work really well…

Research and explore alternative approaches to presenting your final images. This should be an integral part of your concept…not a gimmick…ultimately, the quality of your photography will be the primary focus and your mark will reflect this…
