PROJECT #9: SABATTIER

©️ The School of Light


DIRECTIONS FOR DEVELOPING YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS:

STEP ONE:
1. Take a photo to BLACK & WHITE.
2. Adjust the BRIGHTNESS + CONTRAST to enhance (deepen and brighten) the values in the photograph.
3. "SAVE AS" the image, and add "BW" to the end of the file name so you do not save over the original. 

STEP TWO:

1. Create a DUPLICATE LAYER of the background image (Layers palette).
2. Change BLENDING MODE to "EXCLUSION"
3. Open CURVES and adjust the histogram line to a "W" or an "M" to produce a SOLARIZED/SABATTIER image with MACKIE LINES.

Submit for credit:

5+ photos processed into Sabattier.
Post the original next to the processed image.
(That is 10+ photos total that are posted)

SABATTIER EFFECT.
Sometimes known as "solarization."

PROJECT #8: MULTIPLE EXPOSURE

DIRECTIONS: Using your silhouettes & direct side-light photos, and other photos, combine your photos into various multiple exposures. Use BLEND MODE in the Layers Palette, to blend the various images in your layers. Erase or cut away parts of photos if needed...The beauty is in the unexpected.

Make EIGHT+ multiple exposure images.
*As with all projects, more well-completed images will earn extra credit.

PROJECT #7: LIGHT, Part 2 (Direct Side Light Portraits)


DIRECT SIDE LIGHT

*NOTE: The shadow(s) for these portraits should be dark

1. The light should illuminate your subject from an obvious side/direction.

A. IN CLASS, make FIVE+ photographs of your partner with this lighting.

B. AT HOME, make EIGHT+ photographs with this lighting of someone you live with. 

*. If you are using the same person for all eight images, move the light (or the subject) so that in each photo your human is illuminated a bit differently. The shadows might change shape and direction, and highlights will be in other places.

The differences might be slight, or dramatically obvious. Either way, you'll have a 'different' photo, and it is likely that one will be preferable over another (that's the point of doing multiples).

GENERAL NOTES:
*An obvious and distinctly dark shadow should be visible (dark side of the face)
**An obvious direction from where the light is emanating (coming in from one side only)
***Make sure the light you are using is NOT in the picture.

SUGGESTIONS:
*Use a small light to begin with, at night/in dark, and build from there.
**Possible light sources: small table lamp with/without the shade, cell phone flashlight, computer/laptop screen...
