An examination of the subconscious mind.

The key to shooting surrealism...

WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Surrealism in Photography

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Surrealism embraced the absurd, the unconventional, and the shocking. Surrealist principles presented an exciting challenge for photographers – while a painter can pluck from their imagination with brush and paint, a photograph is derived from the real, material world.

HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will practice different techniques and gradually show your success!

Create a NEW FOLDER INSIDE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY FOLDER

(right click...New Folder)

Name the folder:

SURREALISM

The Assignment...

For this assignment, you must combine photos.

You MUST COMBINE 4 DIFFERENT subjects...a person (part or whole), place (backdrop of interest) and thing...

plus an element of YOUR CHOICE to form one cohesive print.

YOU choose what you are shooting! Do NOT just copy these ideas! Be creative!

PERSON: part(s) or whole

(Hand, face, person, foot etc...be creative!)

PLACE: what is the background?

(Clouds, sky, grass, dirt etc...be creative!)

THING: a physical item

(Clock, cards, ball, camera etc...be creative!)

RANDOM: Photographer's choice!

(be creative!)

Each element must have some connection to your life. But, each element doesn’t have to relate to each other.

When this image is put in your portfolio you MUST write what the meaning is to YOU!

YOU cannot be a subject if YOU took the photo!!! It doesn't count if someone else takes the photo!

Editing your photos!

Remember ALL of the things we have now learned in Photoshop apply!

Masks, Selections, Adjustment layers, Spot Healing, Layer Masks etc!

Links to previous Photoshop lessons:

Adjusting using layers

Remember to use an ADJUSTMENT LAYER (in the layers panel: click the adjustment icon) so it is non-destructive

Adjust such things as:

Brightness/Contrast
Exposure
Vibrance
Hue/Saturation
Color Balance
Black & White

Make Adjustments as needed! (And they are needed!)

Edits are subjective! They are what YOU feel needs to be adjusted. But YOU MUST MAKE ADJUSTMENTS!

Spot healing/patch

If there is anything you want to remove:

Create a new layer and use the Spot Healing or patch tools to clean it up!

Remember to make sure Content-Aware is selected AND Sample All Layers is checked!

Using the masks

Remember on the mask of an adjustment layer (make sure it is selected), we can add black to conseal what we are adjusting!

White=Reveals

Black=Conseals

Make sure your adjustment layers are ON the TOP in the layers panel so that any other alterations (spot healing etc) are adjusted also!

ADD A VIGNETTE!

(all images MUST have this!)

Remember! PULL to the left to use the Dark Vignette!!!

ADD A SIGNATURE!

(all images MUST have this!)

Remember! If your image area is dark, make your signature WHITE. If the image area is light, make your signature BLACK!
