Alright,

Another post in an effort to digitize all of the work I did in the Langara Professional Photo-Imaging Program. You can see all the previous posts here. In the second semester of the program Photo 1228 focused on Studio Techniques. The assignments in this course were:

• Lab Supervisor
• CP Operator
• Illustration Assignments
  • Greyscale Table Top
  • Black on Black, White on White
  • Illustrative Lighting Technique
  • Macro
  • History of Photography
  • Interior
  • Night
  • Exploded View
  • Display Prints
• Portrait Assignments
  • Basic Lighting Patterns
  • Business Portrait / Actors Headshot
  • Low Key Male
  • High Key Female
  • Editorial Portrait (on location flash)
  • Person and Pet OR Parent and Child

Through this course I learned how to:

• Maintain Photo Development Chemicals in a Photo Lab Environment
• Consistently process high quality 35mm, 120, and 4×5 negatives
• Create useful Photographs to meet specific client needs
• Produce quality, commercial, illustrative photographs in studio and on location
• Execute basic portrait sittings in the studio
• Use a variety of electronic flash equipment
• Use a medium format camera system with a high degree of competence
• Expertly print all types of Black and White negatives up to a print size of 16″x20″

By far my favorite assignments were the Macro and Night shot assignments. I really liked being able to show people a perspective/exposure they don’t usually get to experience with their eyes alone.
