Segmented Photos
DIRECTIONS
Segmented Portraits uses the three panels to display the face, midsection and feet of the person—surprisingly, these three portions of people can give a lot of insight into their personality. Take 3 photos - a person’s face, waist (include their hand or hands) and their shoes - feet. You should take several of these however to have a bunch to chose from. Have your brother, sister, parents or friends be your subject. You might also want to team up here at school with another person, take several photos around school to get different ones of yourself or your partner for this project. When you compose and take these photos make sure you zoom in pretty close and take a good in focus photo. Change your height and keep getting lower as you take the photos. Retake these if they are not in focus! |
