Photography 12

 

Lesson # 9 Bending Perspectives

Learning Outcomes:  Students will learn how to use their Photoshop skills to create an altered version of an image's perspective through digital manipulation. Students will also research two new techniques and use this learning to create a finished product.   

Big Idea - Photography can manipulate perspective to change how viewers perceive size, space, and relationships between objects. By bending perspective, photographers can create illusions, humor, drama, and visual storytelling.

 

Purpose: Through guided practice and independent experimentation, we will learn to intentionally alter perspective to create compelling visual effects on Photoshop. 

Assignment:

​

Part 1A: Bending Perspective - Practice

​

  • Watch the assigned YouTube tutorial on bending/forced perspective.

  • Recreate the practice photo shown in the tutorial as closely as possible.

​

Submit 1 photo that closely mimics the tutorial example.

​

Part 1B: Bending Perspective - Your Own

​

  • Take a photo outside - think if you want to do this in nature or cityscape. Complete the bending perspective effect on your new picture. Hand in your own picture along with your practice picture on Google Classroom.

Part 2A: Choose Your Own Perspective

​​

Now we will experiment on our own!!
 

  • You must find look through different perspective technique tutorials on YouTube and find one you like.

  • You will take photographs that would work for your new techniques (think, landscape or cityscape)

  • Complete your new technique on photoshop

​

Part 2B: Explanation

  • Write a short explanation (approx. 200 words that includes:

  • What technique you used. Explain the details you worked through on Photoshop.

  • How you set up the shot (camera placement, distance, settings etc)

  • How the technique changes how the viewer interprets the image

  • What you would change if you did it again

​

See below for examples (you do not HAVE to do these... just make sure your effect has something to do with bending perspectives)
