DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Summer 2008

Assignment: Scanner as Camera

Description: A scanner is really just a large digital camera with a shallow depth of field.  Create two “collages” by scanning objects on the scanner.

Objectives:

1. Using the scanner as a means of creative expression.
2. Discover the advantages and limitations of the scanner for reproducing three-dimensional objects.
3. Exploration of the metaphorical and symbolic meaning of objects

Guidelines:

1. Try scanning many different objects.
2. Create the “collage” in photoshop, not on the scanner glass.  A great deal of photoshop manipulation should occur in these images.
3. Adjust the image settings in Photoshop to create a good final image
4. Final prints should be as large as possible.
5. Create 2 final images of different subjects

Due:

            Progress Crit on Monday August 4

            Final Prints Due on August 8
