Phase 1: photography
In 2 classes you'll be teached in photography.

Your first assignment is to bring 2/3 pictures from magazines you like. We will discuss why you like them, and try to find out what makes a photo interesting or pretty.

Then we'll discuss the theory of photography. Topics which will be discussed are:
composition
light
aperture (diafragma)
shutter speed (belichtingstijd)

Finally we will give you some tips for photographing during your trip. How do you ask a person if he wants to be your model? Are there certain places you are not allowed to photograph?

Off course we will give many example pictures, no need to worry!

Phase 2: create
During the last lesson on photography we will hand you a paper with tips and tricks. Be wise and take this with you to London!

Take as many photos as you can. Don't forget that fashion photographers take 50 shots before they choose one to have in their magazine.

Phase 3: edit
This phase will take 4 classes. The first thing to do, which you might want to do at home too, is to choose your 1, 2 or 3 best pictures. Together we will decide which picture you will photoshop.

All beginners can make beautiful pictures, because photography is often not just a matter of luck but also a matter of good editing.

These lessons will be given in the ict room. Topics to discuss are selection, curving (toning), removing of unwanted elements, 'fashion editing', selective colouring and colouring in general. Of course there is also contrast!

Phase 4: present
At the London reunion held in the school auditorium the ckv section of havo3 will have an exhibition. Every pupil has chosen one photo, which he has photoshopped and printed. These will all be hung up in the auditorium for the audience to see.

The Photo awards are held as well this evening. There are 3 categories and for each category there is a winner, second place and third place. This will result in 9 award winners!

Do your best and don't forget: have fun!
