Split Faces/Famous Couple as One person?

Alrighty then, time to get weird.  With Halloween right around the corner and all of the good work we've done with portraits and faces, let's put our editing skills to the absolute profile/portrait/personality test!

Start with a "famous couple".  Whether in history (King Richard the 8th and pick a wife, any wife), the movies (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, the Notebook) or Celebrities/Politicians (Brad and Angie, Prince Edwards and Kate) our goal is to find a couple that we can then merge their faces.

Project 2: Portrait and Candid - 4 "Best Of's" Due Thursday, Oct. 30!!!


Portrait Photography: 2 edited Candids and 2 edited Posed,       Due Date - 10/30/14

Your next shots will be portrait/candid photographs.  You will shoot 10 portraits and 10 candids. Remember our class discussions about the difference between a candid and a portrait.  Keep in mind the top 10 Do's and Don'ts when shooting portraits.  You may edit the shot as you see fit for a total of 20 photos.

In the meantime...  While we take the time to shoot our portraits and edit our pictures, we will also be doing more research into the wonderful world of Digital Photography and learning more about our editing software.  We will work on this Project concurrently with project #2.

Project 3:  In class editing, Re-Writing History

For your next project you will be editing an existing photograph/image and placing yourself into the existing shot.  You will need to find a famous or recognizable shot on Google Images and (must be at least 500x500 pixel size) place yourself into it.  You must place at least your face, but you can use your entire body.  Your grade for this project will be based on the quality of your editing not on your ideas (though cleverness does indeed count).  This is a chance for you to show me your Photoshopping skills.
