A1: Time of Day Composite


Assigned: Week #3 9/15/11
Due Date: Week #5 9/29/11

Images Due:  One 11”x14” (minimum) Print


The purpose of this assignment is to understand a proper color management workflow while experimenting and utilizing advanced layer mask techniques.  You are to photograph the same scene throughout the day (or multiple days!?) and combine at least 6 files together in a seamless composition.  This assignment is inspired by the work of Stephen Wilkes (among others), so I suggest familiarizing yourself with this technique before starting.  I would also advise you to use a tripod and choose a location that is not only interesting, but a location that you have the ability to easily go back to on multiple occasions. 

Details regarding the assignment: 
  • Always Shoot Raw!
  • Composite in Photoshop using the techniques discussed in class
  • Output a Digital C-Print or Inkjet Print on Photo Quality Paper (surface of your choice)
  • Utilize a proper color management workflow with correctly assigned profiles


Be Creative and have fun!
