SLC – Mind the Selfie!

Over the last few lessons, we have been experimenting with lighting, different angles, close-ups, long shots, backgrounds, distance, as well as exploring different features and tools of photographic apps.  Students are working towards putting together a 5-6 image portfolio that reflects their identity.  Students are also keeping note on what and why they have edited the way they have – what is the purpose? mood? message? etc.  What messages will your selfie presentation  communicate to the class, considering such things as: are you always that happy? What in the selfies are accurate? What is obscured or partially hidden? For example, looking closely at the selfie it is possible to just see part of a soccer ball, your favourite sport, or part of your pet? What is unclear or ambiguous or vague?

As you can see, we have some great photographers and image manipulators.  There has also been great discussions about what is real and true, and what is not.

  1. My son came home super pumped about this ‘project’ and really keen to share not only the process of creating with us, but also how he was trying to capture different aspects of his personality. Just love what is going on in this space. Thank you.
