Photography 101; Tuesday, Third Period [11/07].
When the students came into the classroom that morning, they'd find that not only were they now joined by a small fleet of dress mannequins, but also it sort of looked like someone's closet had exploded all around the usual photography equipment. And Prompto, at the front of it all, was looking very excited, because if there was anything he found almost as exciting as last week's foray into taking pictures of adorable animals, it was taking pictures of fashion!
"As you can see," he said, starting class with a grand gesture toward the mannequins, "we've got some guests to help us out this week, but we'll get to them in a moment. We're going to start by going over last week's photos, especially if you managed to get some good shots of cute animals outside of our visit to Furnado last week."
And once everyone who wanted to had the chance to show off some work and inspire little points of discussion about them, Prompto launched into this week's topic. "Now," he said, "as far as potential careers in photography go, a big one for a lot of photographers....and something that I myself had always wanted to do one day...is fashion photography. Fashion, after all, is a huge industry with a lot of different avenues to take, so we're going to dive into some of that today."
With that, then, Prompto took the time to really break down the different types of fashion photography, everything from high fashion to runway to commercial and catalogue and everything in between, what made them different, and the usual tips and suggestions to help elevate their own pictures.
"And, of course, this is where our very well-dressed mannequins come into play today," he concluded with a grin. "You've got all sorts of lighting and set-dressing stuff to play around with and practice getting some good shots of the fashion on display today, and for next week, I'd like you guys to try and put together a small fashion shot portfolio. Work with each other, your roommates, your friends, pets, and see what you can come up with. Anything you guys want me to go over again, about the style, the industry, any of the types? Or you guys think you're ready to get shooting?"
