Class Evaluations on 2/20: Emotion and Interaction

Focus on how people interact and feel about their emotions. Is the person interacting with the photographer or actually interacting with other people? Do not interact with the people you are taking photos of. That produces staged effects. Black coats present issues due to their shapes not showing up and big shadows. With people moving use a faster shutter speed. Giving a variety of pictures makes for more interesting sets of photos. Get in really tight to give emphasis and a focus. Some people took pictures of people interacting in classes. Taking pictures in a theater like setting provides good lighting and there should be no issues technically. Some bright colors distract from the over all picture. Chose a setting where the lighting and action are taking place and wait for action to occur. If the setting and lighting don’t lend themselves to good photos, you should find a new place to take photos.
