Assignment #3:

'By Tuesday 7th May You are to have shot work that responds to one of the following:
Food (Studio):
Keywords: Fruit & Veg – Light, Healthy, Fresh
Using weekly, monthly or in-house publications as your source of reference, and 
concentrating exclusively on editorial content (rather than advertising), produce a single 
image in the studio that takes the keywords above as its inspiration.

Spring Fashion (Studio or Location):
One model, clothes appropriate to the season and a location appropriate to the label.
Using contemporary editorial fashion as your reference you are to produce one final image that responds to current trends in major regional or national publications.In doing this you must identify one publication as your target, in terms of audience and style.

Uniform (Studio):
McDonalds, Traffic Wardens, the Police and of course the armed services very different roles but each has it’s own unique uniform; we might also say there are stereotypical ‘characters’ we associate with each.

If you choose this brief you are to produce one to two portraits of a person in uniform.
The conditions of this shoot are: white background, full length.
With any of the studio assignments you can team-up with another member of the group, to plan together and assist each other, but you are each to produce a unique image and if working with people use a different person.

The Boss (Location, with Lighting):
Using the Broadsheets and weekly business press as your sources of reference produce a location portrait of a business manager or cultural leader. Light it with studio or off camera flash or reflectors and shoot on location. 
Think about the role your sitter occupies within the professional world, your image will want to make a statement about that person’s significance/role.

Whichever option you choose there must be research evident on your blog, upon final submission, of research into editorial photography in the chosen discipline. As before, define and reflect upon who’s shooting it, which publications are commissioning it, what styles are being used?'
